Hi there, St. Mary's,
Along with Valentine’s Day, Black History Month occurs every February in the United States. It was originally “Negro History Week” and was started in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a historian whose goal was to teach people about the history of African-Americans. It is now a time to honor the African-American race’s achievements and to learn about their culture then and now.
Thank you Michael for your reminder that Feb. is Black History month. With so much going on around us, we sometimes forget to acknowledge the many cultures among us. We can honor and show appreciation to many African Americans who have left a mark in history by learning more about them. What better time than Feb. when it is Black History Month!
