Black History Month Events
In 1926, Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week as an opportunity to commemorate and honor the rich history and achievements of people of African descent in the United States. In 1976, during Bicentennial celebrations, the week became a month, and has been celebrated since across the United States.
What is regarded as American culture at home and abroad is distinctly so because of the work, activism, creativity, and sacrifice of Black artists, musicians, dancers, designers, mavens, promoters, venues - and indeed entire art forms. Without these people, American creative culture would be unrecognizable.
