The Origins of Black History Month
Black History Month has not always been a month long celebration and contrary to popular belief the idea was not Carter Woodson’s. In fact, it began as a week long celebration called Negro History Week and was created by a black fraternity. It was Carter Woodson, however, whose sponsorship and development of it helped turn it into a popular month long celebration.
