The annual Black History Month celebrates the achievements of black Americans in overcoming difficulties and celebrates the important role that blacks played in the development of American history.

The event was formerly known as Black History Week and was co-sponsored by historian Carter G. Woodson and a number of other prominent blacks. Since 1976, successive U.S. presidents have designated February as Black History Month. Other countries, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, have followed the example of the United States in designating a month for similar celebrations.
