Carter G. Woodson—known as the “Father of Black History”—once said, “If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.” He made this observation at a time when the role and contributions of in American history were largely erased from the narrative. In a response to this gross elimination of Black Americans from their own country’s history, he and his partner Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now the ) and instituted “Negro History Week” as the second week of February, in order to draw attention to the topic and facilitate its study.
What once was only a week in February has now evolved into Black History Month, a time where we can highlight and celebrate the history of all Black people—especially those throughout American history.
