BUILD I Black History Month 2024
A focus on African American arts and artisans is the theme for Black History Month 2024.
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, American historian Carter G. Woodson pioneered the field of African American studies in the early 20th century. Carter Godwin Woodson was born in 1875 to former slaves and, as the second African American to earn a doctorate from Harvard, became one of the first scholars of African American history¹.
