Black History month was introduced by Carter Woodson, it was at the time referred to as Negro History Week 1926. It later became Black history month after Woodson's death. Anyway Negro history Weed was introduced because Carter Woodson saw that African-American history was missing from the textbooks, it was being forgotten. Woodson didn't want African-American history to be completely forgotten, so he introduced Negro history Week so that it can be remembered for it special achievements.

What 3 countries celebrate black history month?
Canada and the United Kingdom also celebrate Black History Month.
Why is there a black history month but not a white history month?
People learn of white history every month of the year, and that is including in Black History month. To have a month set aside would be surely redundant and only reinforce what is reinforced everyday in society and schools.
What month was originally black history month?
It was always February.
Why are white people rude to black people when it's Black History Month?
Some whites are rude to blacks during Black History Month because they claim it is unfair and unequal to others without a history month. This is unfounded since there are other months designated for other races; they simply are not as high profile as Black History Month. Some even claim there is no White History Month which many have to repeat back that there is; it is every month on the calender. Since white history is taught no matter what, there is no need to have any specific month for it which is what many hope will happen for Black History and which is the whole point of it; that history about black Americans will be taught not because of a month, but because it is history and needs to be known.
