    An annual observance originating in the United States, Black History Month pays tribute to the generations of African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society. It began with the Negro History Week that was initiated in 1925, which encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

    By 1950, the event became a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. After the Black Awakening of the 1960s, the celebration was expanded to a month in 1976, the nation’s bicentennial. President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

    Black History Month 2020 doesn’t only mark the centennial of the 19th amendment, which granted women the vote, but marks the 150th anniversary of the 15th amendment, which granted black men the right to vote. Throughout the month of February, there is a wealth of concerts, lectures and film screenings, but also
