ORIGIN OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH- Black History Month began as Negro History Week, established in February 1926 by Historian Dr , Carter.G. Woodson (1875-1950) , Dr Woodson , a Harvard graduate who was born to former slaves. was concerned that African American History had been ignored in US education curricula. He inaugurated Negro History Week to recognise African Americans. The Month of February was chosen because it coincided with the birthdays of Black Abolitionist Frederick Douglas, President Abraham Lincoln and James Mercer Langston Hughes (February 1, 1901 – May 22, 1967) who was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist from Joplin, Missouri. He moved to New York City as a young man, where he made his career.
