This Black History Month, we celebrate a historic milestone: 100 years of honoring Black history.
Created by historian, author, journalist, and educator Dr. Carter G. Woodson, in 1926 as “Negro History Week” has grown into the global month-long celebration we know today.
In the words of Dr. Woodson: “Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.”
This Black History Month, we honor, remember, and carry forward the mission Dr. Woodson laid out for us all.
