  • Summary

  • This piece podcast disusses the conception of Black History Month by Carter G. Woodson, the distinguished Black scholar who pioneered #NegroHistoryWeek in 1926 to promote achievements of African Americans omitted from history books. We follow Woodson’s vision as his #weeklong observance gains momentum, eventually transforming into a #monthlong celebration affirmed nationally as #BlackHistoryMonth. The article underscores the persisting need for accurate Black narratives in classrooms and public spaces, even today, over a century since one man rallied to correct widespread distortions of African American contributions.
