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.
Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The Black History Month 2018 theme, âAfrican Americans in Times of War,â marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and honors the roles that black Americans have played in warfare, from the American Revolution to the present day.
