Black History Month
Black History Month traces its roots to the first Negro History Week in February of 1926. Announced by Carter Godwin Woodson, an American historian, author and journalist, Negro History Week expanded the traditional February celebrations of the lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, thus shifting the emphasis from the celebration of two men to the celebration of an entire people.
At SUNY Broome, when we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the often unsung contributions of black Americans, acknowledge African Americans’ role in U.S. history, celebrate achievements of the black community, and inspire others to recognize and uphold values of diversity, equity and inclusion.
