Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of \u201cNegro History Week,\u201d the brainchild of Carter G. Woodson, a leading historian, and Jesse E. Moorland, a prominent minister. Together they created an organization now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). The ASALH first sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs, and host performances and lectures.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.<\/p>\n<p>The Black History Month 2024 theme is &#8220;African Americans and the Arts&#8221; spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. <a href=\"https:\/\/asalh.org\/black-history-themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a> \/\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.edu\/events\/black-history-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>CANADA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1978, the Ontario Black History Society (OBHS) was established. Its founders, including Dr. Daniel G. Hill and Wilson O. Brooks, presented a petition to the City of Toronto to have February formally proclaimed as Black History Month. In 1979, the first-ever Canadian proclamation was issued by Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The first Black History Month in Nova Scotia was observed in 1988 and later renamed African Heritage Month in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993, the\u00a0<abbr title=\"the Ontario Black History Society\">OBHS<\/abbr>\u00a0successfully filed a petition in Ontario to proclaim February as Black History Month. Following that success, Rosemary Sadlier, president of the\u00a0<abbr title=\"the Ontario Black History Society\">OBHS<\/abbr>, introduced the idea of having Black History Month recognized across Canada to the Honourable Jean Augustine, the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>In December 1995, the House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month in Canada following a motion introduced by Dr. Augustine. The House of Commons carried the motion unanimously.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2008, Senator Donald Oliver, the first Black man appointed to the Senate, introduced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sencanada.ca\/en\/content\/sen\/chamber\/392\/debates\/034db_2008-02-14-e#74\">Motion to Recognize Contributions of Black Canadians and February as Black History Month<\/a>. It received unanimous approval and was adopted on March 4, 2008. The adoption of this motion completed Canada\u2019s parliamentary position on Black History Month. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/canadian-heritage\/campaigns\/black-history-month\/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 2024 theme for Black History Month is: \u201cBlack Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build\u201d. This theme celebrates the rich past and present contributions and accomplishments of Black people in Canada, while aspiring to embrace new opportunities for the future.<\/p>\n<p>The theme aligns with the 10th year of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/observances\/decade-people-african-descent\">International Decade for People of African Descent<\/a> and recognizes that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/canadian-heritage\/campaigns\/black-history-month.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ldwai0it-5b0d730b1d7f0afded862aa2f4ed4dd2\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ldwai0it-5b0d730b1d7f0afded862aa2f4ed4dd2 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ldwai0it-5b0d730b1d7f0afded862aa2f4ed4dd2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"page-title\">Why February?
