“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 and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.” (History.com)
It’s a great opportunity for parents, families, and teachers to teach with intention, honoring the tradition and showing students its importance, along with the importance of Black history and culture.
Here are some ideas of people to share with your kiddos. Let them tell you why their role in history was so important after you research them and read about them together. Look for children’s books that you can share together about people who have made a difference to Black History. There are so many people that have made a difference, here are just a few. We can all “Be the change you want to see in the world” and make a difference for the better in the world. We are all part of the human race and share equally in making this world great.
