This month we are celebrating the black people that fought for the rights to be treated like any other person.
It was not fair that the black people got treated so poorly back in the 1800s. Some of the best singers, writers etc are black people. ( eg. Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, etc)
If you're ever thinking about trying to discriminate against someone because of their skin colour or culture, well then think twice before you say something that could really hurt someone. People, no matter what skin colour they have they should have always been treated with respect and kindness. H B H M ? A man called Carter Woodson was learning about American history. He found that no one had written anything about black people. So later on in 1915 he and another man called Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. So in 1926 Carter and the ASAALH launched a “Negro History Week” in February because it had both Frederick Douglass’ and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. That is why Black History Month is in February. Later it became more of a month. That is how Black History Month started. Famous People in Black History
