Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson.

The Center for Black Culture celebrates Black History Month by collaborating with Black student organizations and hosting events celebrating and remembering the monumental achievements of Black people.
