"Every February, the U.S. honors the contributions and sacrifices of African Americans who have helped shape the nation. Black History Month celebrates the rich cultural heritage, triumphs and adversities that are an indelible part of our country's history." -NPR News Who began Black History Month? "Carter G. Woodson was a scholar whose dedication to celebrating the historic contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976." -NAACP How can I celebrate Black History Month? Great question! you can celebrate Black History Month by acknowledging and celebrating the various accomplishments and achievements of African Americans. I chose to do this by displaying some of my favorite songs created by African American Artists in this project, but there is still so much to be highlighted!
