Black History Month originated as "Negro History Week," which was established in 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson to promote the study of African American history. In 1976, during the United States Bicentennial, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month, expanding the celebration to the entire month of February. This change aimed to encourage a broader awareness of the contributions and history of African Americans. Since then, February has been designated as Black History Month in the U.S. and other countries.

Is the last week of the month the last full week?

I always thought the last week was the one fully enclosed in the month. Although I suppose it could be just explained as either the last full week or the last week of one month/ beginning of the next.....Example: The last full week of July or the last week of July-beginning of August. If it's always explained the confusion is avoided. Everyone has their own opinion of what the last week of the month is.
