All lives matter!

February is celebrated as Black History Month, and this is the best time to learn a little more about the heroes who fought injustice to do good for the community.

Black History Month is celebrated every year in February.

Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organisation dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent.

Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organise local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures.

The concept kept growing and in 1976 President Gerald Ford officially recognised Black History Month. Since then, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme.
