This piece podcast disusses the conception of Black History Month by Carter G. Woodson, the distinguished Black scholar who pioneered #NegroHistoryWeek in 1926 to promote achievements of African Americans omitted from history books. We follow Woodson’s vision as his #weeklong observance gains momentum, eventually transforming into a #monthlong celebration affirmed nationally as #BlackHistoryMonth.
