Canada and the United Kingdom also celebrate Black History Month.
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.
Black History Month originated from a desire to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history. It began as "Negro History Week," established by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, to highlight the often-overlooked stories of Black individuals and their impact on society. The week was expanded to a month in 1976, during the U.S. Bicentennial, to promote a more comprehensive understanding of Black history and culture. It serves as a time for reflection, education, and recognition of the ongoing struggles for equality and justice.
People learn of white history every month of the year, and that is including in Black History month. To have a month set aside would be surely redundant and only reinforce what is reinforced everyday in society and schools.
It was always February.
