Black History Month: The Black History Month celebration began in 1926 with the Black History Week founded by famous African American historians, scholars, educators and publishers Carter Woodson. It became a celebration for a month in 1976. The selection in February was consistent with the birthday of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. National People's Association for the Advancement of Color People: On February 12, 2009, the 100th anniversary of the National Association for the advancement of color people. In 1908, ethnic violence in the early 20th century, especially ethnic riots in Springfield, Illinois, became more intense and a group of African-American leaders combined the whole country, a permanent civil rights organization We established the Association for Promotion of Coloration People. Association (NAACP). I chose February 12, 1909 because this is the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

Black History Month started in the United States as "Black History Week" by American historian Carter G. Woodson and Black Life and History Research Association. It was celebrated in the second week of February when Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas were born. The week is gradually extended to one month and spreads to other countries such as the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. Black History Monthly critics (in most cases not white people, in many cases), it is often racial discrimination to devote black people in February because all races should be treated equally say. But there is a big flaw in this reasoning. Moths are used exclusively for blacks, leaving white men, as white men and blacks are implicitly assumed to be in the same position. However, this has completely ignored slavery and institutional discrimination against blacks for hundreds of years.

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson, a father of the black history, spent a week in February as a "black history week" and evolved into the "Black History Moon". In the shortest and coldest months, the Black History Month is a strange celebration. Many people often ask, is it enough for a month? No, one month is not enough, for the history of the blacks is everyone's history. So, do you have your own school, food, bank, and economy in Black Wall Wall, Black American Wall in Tulsa, Oklahoma? I did not mention it. What are the conditions of Black College and University (HBCU) that have been established for a long time? Also why must we establish them for free slaves and descendants of slave owner's children? In modern textbooks there is only one or two mention of HBCU
