Black History Month (US)

February 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007

Established in 1926 as Negro History Week to "neutralize the apparent ignorance and deliberate distortion of Black History." This celebration of awareness of the accomplishments of African-Americans and African heritage became Black History Month in 1976. February has several influential African-American birthdays', including Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Eubie Blake, and the NAACP
