Teachers are invited to explore the links provided here as we observe Black History Month. First observed in 1976 to coincide with the nation's bicentennial celebration, Black History Month grew out of Negro History Week, founded in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. Born to slaves, educated at Berea College in Kentucky and the recipient of a docotrate degree from Harvard University in 1912, Dr. Woodson was a distinguished educator as head of the graduate faculty and Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Howard University in Washington D.C.
