February is dedicated to Black History Month (Credit: Missiour.edu/ CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Black History Month, observed every February, celebrates the contributions and central role of African Americans throughout US history. President Gerald Ford was the first to officially recognize what is also called African American Month in 1976. However, the idea was the brainchild of American historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
