Black History Month ~

In 1926, Historian Carter Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week."
The celebration of African-American history was a popular theme. Woodson hoped that someday black history would become fundamental to American history.

Martin Luther King said,"If you will protest courageously, and yet with dignity and Christian love, when the history books are written in future generations, the historians will have to pause and say, 'There lived a great people ~ a black people ~ who injected new meaning and dignity into the veins of civilization.'
