Since the founding of "Negro History Month" in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson (renamed Black History Month in 1976), the month of February offers a special opportunity each year to celebrate the contributions of African Americans in all walks of life. Now is a great time to learn more about the life and work of Carter G. Woodson.
