What is Black History Month? “Black History Month, also known as African American History Month in America, is an annual observance in February for the remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. In 1976, as part of the United States Bicentennial, Black History Month was officially recognized by the U.S. government. President Gerald Ford spoke in regards to this, urging Americans to ‘seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.’ ” Celebrate Black History Month in February with the ERASE Club.
