Black History Month is an annual celebration in February that honors the achievements, history, and contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history. It began as a week-long observance in 1926, founded by historian Carter G. Woodson, and was later expanded to a month in 1976. The month highlights significant figures, events, and cultural movements that have shaped the nation, while also recognizing ongoing struggles for racial equality and justice. It serves as a reminder of the importance of celebrating Black heritage and fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the Black community.
