The Origins of Black History Month
Wednesday February 11, 2009
What we now call Black History Month was originated in 1926 by Carter Godwin Woodson as Negro History Week. The month of February was selected in deference to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln who were both born in that month. Photo Credit Carter Godwin Woodson ŠOak Ridge National Laboratory
