February is Black History Month! The month pays tribute to generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in America. African-American History began with the arrival of Africans to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was Carter G. Woodson, the "father of Black History," who first set out in 1926 to designate a time to promote and educate people about Black history and culture.
