6 Interesting Facts About Black History Month: 1. Black History Month was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a historian and author who was the son of former slaves. According to the Library of Congress, Black History Month began in 1915 when Dr. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). After he created the organization, he continued to promote the achievements of Black Americans by naming one week in February Negro History W...eek." This celebration would go on in several cities and towns from 1926 until 1976 when President Gerald Ford made Black History Month a national observance. 2. An ornament of Woodson hangs on the White House Christmas tree each year to honor all he achieved in his career. 3. Woodson never lost hope that Black history would become a bigger part of American schools' curriculum. Woodson died in 1950, but according to ASALH, he believed that Negro History Week" would ultimately be replaced by curriculum that celebrated and taught about the accomplishments of Black Americans. 4. February was intentionally chosen for Black History Month for two reasons: it was the birthday month of both Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. 5. Each year, Black History Month has a different theme and focus. The intention has never been to dictate or limit the exploration of the Black experience, but to bring to the public's attention important developments that merit emphasis. The theme for 2021 is The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity." 6. Many countries celebrate Black History Month. According to National Geographic, Canada celebrates Black History Month in February, while the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands all celebrate Black History Month in October.
