African History

Why is February Black History Month? Who came up with the idea?

Published

on



In this episode of Let’s Teach, I’ll explain exactly why Black History Month is celebrated in February. We can’t talk about Black History month without getting to know a historian named Carter G. Woodson, who is widely regarded as the pioneer of the field of African-American studies. In the early 20th century, he co-founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History – or “ASNLH,” for short – after being inspired by the national celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, which lasted for three whole weeks.

The ASNLH began as a way to encourage American scholars to examine Black history, which was a subject that had long been ignored by academia. Their efforts to get this topic into the mainstream increased throughout the years, and in 1926, they, along with Woodson, launched “Negro History Week.”

    We don't have a White History Month, but we have Father's Day.

    Thank you for this video! I always wondered why it was just in February. I think we should celebrate black history every day.

    So it is ok to have a black history month, but you want to destroy the history of America. How does that work now? Yes there was slavery in this country. It was wrong and evil. It is still going today in some countries. What the American Indian? We need to celebrate these people. It was their land before we arrived. Why don’t we have a special day for them?

    BLACK HISTORY HAS BECOME WAY OVER PLAYED. How many Blacks were at the Battle of Bunker Hill ?? How many Blacks fought with the Whites against England ? Blacks are NOT a main part of American history. And why would we acknowledge a people who have done nothing but create strife, and problems for the White People ?

    99% of black history is b***** every February we hear about the same old s*** these little pee pee inventions that blacks made over a hundred years ago where are the Elon musks that are black? Chicago has 55 area schools and not one black student proficient at math or reading wow that's worth celebrating isn't it?

    If it was up to me, I would change it from "Black History Month" to UNSUNG AMERICANS MONTH.

    These kind of people made the white people. Try and dress like the blacks. That's how much they scared the white boys.
