THE ORIGIN OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Today I thought I'd share another video from History.com on the origin of Black History Month. Did you know that what we now call Black History Month originated in 1926, amd was founded by Carter G 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.

Food for thought :-)
