Black History/Awareness Month
February is Black History Month (Black Awareness Month in some areas), an annual celebration whose origins go back to 1926. In that year, the first annual Negro History Week was held during the second week of February. The chief instigator was Carter G. Woodson of Harvard, who was determined to bring Black history into the mainstream. Mr. Woodson chose February to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass, a pioneer abolitionist and writer, and Abraham Lincoln, two men who made great contributions to racial freedom. For information on CU-Boulder Black Awareness Month activities, download the PDF calendar in the "Events and Announcements" section at the Office of Diversity and Equity.
