African American History Month
To recall and celebrate the positive contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, a noted African American author and scholar, Carter G. Woodson, established Black History Week. The first celebration occurred on February 12, 1926. In February of 1976, as part of the nation's bicentennial, the week was expanded into "Black History Month." This celebration has increasingly been referred to as "African American History Month," although both names are currently in use.
