Black History began in Chicago during the summer of 1915. Conceived by Historian Carter G Woodson who proposed marking a time to honor African Americans and raise awareness of Black History. February was chosen primarily because the second week of the month coincides with the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. It’s celebrated from Feb. 1-March 1. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” Martin Luther King. Happy Black History Month!
