Description:

February is Black History Month.


This year, there's even more reason to celebrate — as we recognize 100 years of commemoration.


Black History Month began in 1926 when Black historian Carter G. Woodson created a week to celebrate the vast achievements of Black men and women.


That week eventually grew into the monthlong celebration we know today.


On Midday Edition, we discuss the evolution and perseverance of Black History Month over 10 decades. And, the importance of celebrating Black history in 2026.
