Kicking off Black History Month is just as important now as it was when it was only a week long observation. Here's a short look at how we got here ....
Black History Month Began as Negro History Week
In 1926, Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week. The celebration highlighted Black Americans’ history, lives, and contributions. In 1976, Negro History Week expanded to the month-long celebration we observe today.
Dr. Woodson, an African American historian who graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard, founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). The ASALH now leads nationwide Black History Month celebrations and establishes its themes. Dr. Woodson was brilliant and DEI had nothing to do with his success.
The month of February Honors Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln
Dr. Woodson selected February in honor of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln’s birth dates. Lincoln is well known for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation — declaring freedom for enslaved Americans held in the Confederacy.
Douglass escaped from American slavery in 1838. He became a renowned abolitionist, speaker, and writer. He wrote several books, including A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.

Students from pre-K through post-secondary are facing educational instability thanks to the on again , off again federal funding freeze. Parents have been left wondering if their kids can attend Head Start and researchers have been left wondering if they can count on funding to support finding cures for cancer and diabetes. These orders have caused trauma and instability in homes across Michigan and the country. Please end the chaos now. #loveisthework
