Court proclaims February as Black History Month

February is National Black History Month, which according to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History website, began in 1926 as a week-long celebration occurring on the second week of Feb. That week was chosen by the ACLH Founder Carter Woodson due to the fact that the birthdays of two men associated with the fight for African American freedom, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, occurred during that week. Fast forward to 1986, which was the first year of the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday as a national holiday. That same year, the U.S. Congress designated the month of February as National Black History Month, which is still celebrated to this day and will see national and local acknowledgments throughout the month.
