February is Black History Month! It originally started as only a week-long celebration beginning in 1926. The celebration was created by prominent African American scholar and historian Carter G. Woodson. The month of February was chosen to recognize the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Many colleges started having month long events instead of the original week long celebration. In 1976, President Ford officially extended the recognition of Black history to a month-long event.The theme for Black History Month 2022 is Black Health and Wellness.
