| Black History Month |
Black History Month is a remembrance of important people and events in the history
of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada in
the month of February, while in the UK it's held in the month of October.
Purpose
When the tradition of Black History Month was started in the US, many in mainstream
academia had barely begun to explore black history. At that point, most
representation of blacks in history books was only in reference to the low social
position they held as slaves and their descendants, with the exception of George
Washington Carver. Black History Month can also be referred to as
African-American History Month, or African Heritage Month. W.E.B. DuBois' 1935 work
"Black Reconstruction" was an early work in history that pointed to black
contributions.
In the United Kingdom (UK), Black History Month is celebrated in the month of
October. The official guide to Black History Month in the UK is published by Sugar
Media, Ltd., which produces 100,000 copies nationwide.
Part of the aim of Black History Month is to recognise significant contributions to
society made by people with African heritage and how their history is integral to
mainstream narratives. It demonstrates how all peoples contribute to a culture.
