Throughout the month of February, we’re celebrating Black History Month and honoring individuals who have been instrumental in shaping American history. Beginning as a week in 1926 to coincide with Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass’ birthdays, Black History Month has since inspired communities across the country to celebrate, appreciate and learn about past and present Black history. Other countries have also adapted their own versions of the month. The official beginning of Black History Month was in 1976, and since then, every U.S.
