Black History Studies




Martin Luther King Jr.

Black History Month is an annual observance in the month of February in the United States and Canada, and in October in the United Kingdom. Sometimes it is called African-American History Month. During this time teachers in our schools and homeschool parents teach their students about the contributions notable blacks have made in the world. Among their number we find scientists, educators, explorers, entrepreneurs, inventors, civil rights leaders, athletes, writers and world leaders.
