Black History Month will once again be highlighted by the Spartan Media Team!
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.
Every day we will be highlighting another prominent African American who stands out to the students, whether it be in the world of history, entertainment, sports, politics, etc. Check back every day in February to learn about the accomplishment of those who have made a difference in the African American community.
