Celebrating Black History | TIME for Kids
Celebrating Black History Two important birthdays helped organizers choose February as the time to celebrate African Americans FEB 01, 2016 | Julia Zorthian for TIME In the early 1900s, Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian, was frustrated. He did not feel that the history and accomplishments of black people were being taught or celebrated in the United States. While working to address this problem, Woodson set the foundation for what would become today’s national Black History Month. It is observed each February. Woodson was studying history at Harvard University, in Massachusetts. He saw that black people were not well represented in history books. Black history was also not discussed in his classes. According to the way many historians taught the nation’s past, African Americans were barely part of the story. SAUL LOEB—AFP/GETTY IMAGES Woodson knew this was not true. So in 1915, he Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton speaks with students about Black History Month and Jesse E. Moorland, a black minister and alongside a statue of Martin Luther King, Jr., in Washington, D.C., on February 20, 2014. community leader, founded what would become the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, or the ASALH. The organization would promote studying black history and celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans. Spotlight on Black History In 1926, Woodson and the ASALH launched a black history week to bring attention to their mission and help schools organize lessons on the topic. Woodson chose the second week in February. That week held two very important dates: Frederick Douglass’ birthday on February 14 and Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on February 12.
