February is nationally known as Black History Month, dating back to 1976. When founder Carter G. Wilson created Negro History Week, his goal was to inform Americans of African-American history and cultural backgrounds, and Black History Month has since evolved into so much more. From celebrations like Juneteenth, Kwanzaa, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the history of African-Americans couldn’t possibly be limited to the month of February.
