February is Black History Month, inspired by Dr. Carter G. Woodson who worked to shine a light on the achievements of Blacks in the United States.

As President Ford proclaimed in 1976—when the month was first nationally designated—February is a time for all Americans “to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”
