Maryland Student Minimum Wage - $7.86 - Full-time high school or college students who work part-time may be paid 85% of the Maryland minimum wage (as little as $7.86 per hour) for up to 20 hours of work per week at certain employers (such as work-study programs at universities).
1 Black History Month began as âNegro History Week,â which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator, and publisher. 2  It became a month-long celebration in 1976. 3  The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
As a result of our efforts, the week of March 8th (International Womenâs Day) was officially designated as National Womenâs History Week. In 1987, we led the successful campaign to have the entire month of March declared National Womenâs History Month. We mobilize and unify the national celebrations of Womenâs History Month in March each year by choosing an annual theme. We promote a multicultural womenâs history perspective by honoring women of diverse cultural, ethnic, occupational, racial, class, and regional backgrounds.
