Black History Books for Young Adults!

   Black History is American history. In 1926, the second week in February became a week-long observation of Black History, initially created by historian, Carter G. Woodson.
   In 1970 the celebration became the entire month of February. It wasn’t recognized by the US government until President Ford made it official in 1976. 50 years later and 100 years since it’s inception, it is important to set aside time and energy--not just the month of February, but the entire year--to learn about the people, events, and places important to Black History.
   No matter your background, experience, or education, it is critical to learn about the people, events, and places connected to Black History. Black History is everyone’s History.
