What 3 countries celebrate black history month?
Canada and the United Kingdom also celebrate Black History Month.
Why is there a black history month but not a white history month?
People learn of white history every month of the year, and that is including in Black History month. To have a month set aside would be surely redundant and only reinforce what is reinforced everyday in society and schools.
What month was originally black history month?
It was always February.
Why are white people rude to black people when it's Black History Month?
Some whites are rude to blacks during Black History Month because they claim it is unfair and unequal to others without a history month. This is unfounded since there are other months designated for other races; they simply are not as high profile as Black History Month. Some even claim there is no White History Month which many have to repeat back that there is; it is every month on the calender. Since white history is taught no matter what, there is no need to have any specific month for it which is what many hope will happen for Black History and which is the whole point of it; that history about black Americans will be taught not because of a month, but because it is history and needs to be known.
In th US what month of the year is black history month?
Black History Month is an outgrowth of Negro History Week, established by black historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926. He designated the second week in February to mark the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The week was expanded to a month in 1976, as part of the nation's Bicentennial commemoration. Since 1976, it is celebrated annually in the USA and Canada in February and the UK in the month of October. In the U.S., Black History Month is also referred to as African-American History Month.
