Black History Month
Aloha… February is Black History Month. This is the time to honor and celebrate the contributions of African Americans and African Descent in the world.
In your social studies classes as well as some of your other classes, teachers are prepared to provide lessons that focus on the contributions of African Americans and African Descent across the world this month.
In 1926, Carter G Woodson established Negro History Week, and in 1976 it was expanded to the month long celebration we observe today.
Carter G Woodson was an African American historian who graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
Please stop by my classroom (C-216 A) During lunch recess and we can share stories about African American culture this month.
Thanks, Ms. Walker.
