February is Black History Month! It is an annual observance which began in the United States in 1926 by African American Historian, Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
The original emphasis was the teaching of African American history in the nation's public schools. Black History Month is a way of remembering and honoring important people and events is the African Diaspora. Today, it is observed, not only in the United States but also in Canada, Ireland (in October), the Netherlands (October), and the United Kingdom (October)!
