BLACK HISTORY MONTH

The month of the Blacks history is an event observed in the United States of America and in Canada, on February, and in the UK, on October to celebrate the importance of people in the history of the African diaspora.

Carter Woodson was an African-American historian, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African-American Life and History. Woodson was one of the first scholars to study African-American History. He noted that African-American history was ignored. So in 1926 he established the celebration of Negro History Week, during the second week in February, now known as Black History Month.
