Black History Month, celebrated every February in the U.S. and Canada, is an annual observance honoring the vital contributions, achievements, and rich heritage of Black Americans and people of African descent, founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1926 as a week to highlight often-overlooked history, expanding to a month to commemorate Black history as integral to American history. It serves to recognize the diverse experiences, resilience, and significant impacts of Black individuals in all fields, from arts and culture to science and politics, fostering a deeper understanding of their enduring legacy.
