Harvard-educated historian and author, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, is credited with creating Black History Month.

Black History Month started as “Negro History Week” which was celebrated during the week of Abraham Lincoln’s and Frederick Douglass’ birthdays (February 12th and 14th).

In 1976, President Gerald Ford declared February to be Black History Month.

Black history happens every day and there are always new endeavors to celebrate.

Harvard-educated historian and author, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, is credited with creating Black History Month. He was inspired after attending a 50th anniversary celebration of the 13th Amendment where various exhibits portrayed events in African American culture. With a mission to amplify Black people’s contributions and achievements, Woodson went on to create what is now known as the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH). In 1926, Woodson and ASALH declared the second week of February—which aligned with Abraham Lincoln’s and Frederick Douglass’ birthdays—to be “Negro History Week.”

During the next 50 years, communities, schools and organizations started participating in the week-long recognition of African American trials and successes. As public interest grew, particularly during the 1960s civil rights movement, the celebration expanded from a week to a month. In 1976, President Gerald Ford declared February to be “Black History Month,” and congress passed a law in 1986 solidifying it as such.

William Tucker, son of indentured servants from Great Britain, was the first recorded African child to be born in the colonies in 1624.

Vermont was the first colony to ban slavery in 1777.

Between 1810-1850, an estimated 100,000 slaves used the Underground Railroad to escape to the North.

Hattie McDaniel became the first Black person to win an Oscar for her supporting role in Gone With the Wind in 1940.

In 1864, Rebecca Lee Crumpler graduated from the New England Female Medical College as the first Black woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S.

Baseball legend Jackie Robinson had an older brother, Matthew “Mack” Robinson, who broke the Olympic record in 1936 in the 200-meter dash.

Truly grateful for the opportunity, a true blessing 🙌🏾

My advice to anyone reading this is to be aware of comparisons. Comparison is truly the thief of joy. It’s easy to get distracted by what those around you are doing. Spending too much time being consumed by what others are doing will negatively influence your own output — paralyzing either the quality or pace. Comparing yourself to others is not ever a fair way to measure your progress in life. Instead, look at your previous work or efforts from two years ago or even as recent as six months ago and compare that to where you are now. Comparing yourself to your past self is the best indicator of your progress and how far YOU have come.

Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way from the team to friends, clients and family ♥️
