February is Black History month. Celebrated in the United States, Canada and parts of Europe, the concept of celebrating black accomplishments dates back to 1926 when historian Carter G Woodson announced the second week of February to be “Negro History Week.” The week was chosen originally to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. In 1969, the group Black United Students at Kent State University proposed expanding the celebration to a month and was celebrated the following year in 1970. Six years later, President Gerald Ford acknowledged Black History Month and urged the country to honor the contributions of black Americans throughout history. This month, Civics & Coffee will celebrate and highlight black history. Because black history is American history.
