February Black History Month 2010

You will see several posters around campus honoring famous African Americans for contributions to  American science, health, government, fine arts, industry, education and sports. The Diversity Allies sponsored this display to recognize Black History Month which was started in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950). Dr. Woodson received his PhD. in History from Harvard University. He devoted his career to including black American history into the American history books. In 1915 he established the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History and in 1926 he launched the now popular annual tradition to celebrate African American history in February.
