"If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated." – #CarterGWoodson
(Woodson pioneered Negro History Week established in February 1926, the precursor to what became #BlackHistoryMonth in 1970.)
Celebrating 100 years of #BlackHistory
Ayer, sábado, comenzó el Mes de la Historia Negra en Estados Unidos y Canadá, un momento para honrar a la comunidad negra y su experiencia. Aunque las celebraciones de la Historia Negra se han llevado a cabo durante décadas, es posible que no sepas cómo comenzó esta conmemoración que dura un mes.
Did you know Black History Month started as Negro History Week in 1926?
Carter G. Woodson, a historian and one of the first Black Ph.D.s from Harvard, founded it to make sure Black contributions weren’t erased from history. His work led to the full month we celebrate today.
Black history is American history. Let’s honor it every day.
Carter G. Woodson “No man knows what he can do until he tries.”
