Black History Month, which is observed in February, is a time to celebrate the diverse stories and achievements of Black people, reflect on ages past and work toward a future that is free from any systemic racism and oppression.
The idea was conceived back in 1926 as “Negro History Week” by Black historian Carter G. Woodson. It wasn’t until 1976 that it turned into a month-long affair, with the core idea being to encourage studying a subject that academia had long neglected. Now, it affords stories of marginalized figures and movements all throughout history to be introduced into the mainstream via many mediums including film and television.
