Black History Month began on Saturday across the United States, kicking off a celebration of Black history, culture and education. The history of the month dates back almost a century when historian and author Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week. “I think Black folks understood what they had contributed to America’s historical narrative, but no one was talking about it,” said Kaye Whitehead, president of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. @AssociatedPress has more on the month’s origins, importance to the American story, and its perseverance in 2025.
