Carter G. Woodson in 1926.
Gerald Ford was president in 1976 when Black History Month was declared. The original idea was Black History Week, created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson.
We celebrate black history month because we are celebrating all of the great things black men and woman have done. Many years ago, black people were overlooked. They were not in History books when they did great things that white people did. It was truly unfair so Carter G. Woodson decided to make Black History Month a thing so that they could have equil rights. Carter G. Woodson changed Black History just like many others such as Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and many other great black human beings. Black History Month had given Black People the chance to finally be noticed and not overlooked. In the UK they celebrate Black History Month in October but in America they celebrate Black History Month in February. In October or February, people normally protest to stop racism once and for all. Black History Month wouldn't be the same if people didn't believe in them. We should always respect others, we should not care about looks but instead we should care about their personalities. George Floyd also made a big change in Black History when a shopkeeper said he payed 'fake money' but it was real money, George Floyd was just black and was treated wrong. Then an officer came and put his knee on his neck for no reason at all! If it was a white person on the other hand, they would of never gotten put down to the floor and had someone put their knee on their neck! This just shows how unfair people can be! This happened on May 25th. We must keep George Floyd and many others in our hearts and be greatful for all the amazing things that they have done for us. Rest In Peace George Floyd, Martin Luthor King Jr., Muhammad Ali and many many other great black people who changed History forever.
we have black history month to show appreciation to all blacks who had served there rights for all blacks like take whats going on right now for example they are fighting for there rights. just like blacks weren't aloud in white school and they fought for there rights to go to school with white kids. I'm pretty sure u can see my point to this question.
"Spotify. A great idea, poorly executed."
omg that's a great idea i can't believe I've never heard of it before; you should go on some talk show
A great idea could be a brainstorm, or an inspiration.
I like that it blinks so that I know it's working, but I do wish it wasn't flashing so brightly and noticeably at the top of the device. I will try the black electrical tape - great idea.
Its important because African Americans have come a long way from where they use to be. When a race or people start as being slaves & treated extremely cruelly, becoming famous leaders like Martin Luther King Jr or someone like Rosa Parks, is very important & valuable to society. Things like the Underground Railroad influenced American History, and African Americans play a huge role in history.
I have absolutely no idea
Carter C. Woodson wanted for people to start reconizing the hard work of African americans. He was a Former coal miner born to former slaves. He got a degree from Harvard University.Dr. Carter G. Woodson was the originator of the idea for a black history month celebration.
The "Idea for a Universal History with a Cosmopolitan Purpose" was written by Immanuel Kant in 1784. It is a philosophical essay that explores the idea of progress in history towards the realization of freedom and the necessity of a cosmopolitan political order.
History shows that it was an Arabic idea.
