Black Histomry month
Black history is the history of people of African descent in the United States. The first black Americans were brought to America as slaves, and their lives were marked by severe oppression and discrimination. During the 1800s, African Americans were forced into slavery as a result of their oppression and segregation by whites. While they struggled against these circumstances within their communities, they also made contributions to American culture and society in many ways throughout American history. Today’s celebration of Black History Month draws attention to this rich past while also reminding us that there is still much work ahead for truly equal opportunity for all Americans.”

Black history is the history of people of African descent in the United States. Throughout American history, African Americans have struggled to be recognized for their contributions to society. During the 1800s, African Americans were forced into slavery as a result of their oppression and segregation by whites.
This led them to become social outcasts who faced severe discrimination both at home and in society at large. They were deprived of basic rights such as voting or owning property; they had limited access to education; they were often excluded from jobs that paid well while being subject to high levels of violence against them at times (e.g., lynchings).
February is designated as Black History Month.
Black History Month was first designated in February of 1926, when President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill into law designating that month as Black History Month.
The year chosen for the designation is based on the birth month of Frederick Douglass, who was born on February 14th in 1818; it also coincides with Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and W.E.B. Du Bois organizing the Niagara Movement (which was founded in 1889).

- In the 1800s, African Americans were forced into slavery as a result of their oppression and segregation by whites.

Throughout American history, African Americans have struggled to be recognized for their contributions to society.
Throughout American history, African Americans have struggled to be recognized for their contributions to society. From being forced into slavery, to being oppressed and segregated by whites, to discrimination against them in the workplace and housing market–African-Americans have been denied equal rights.
The fight for equality for African Americans is far from over; however it is important that we learn about this history so we can continue fighting for justice now and in the future.
During the 1800s, African Americans were forced into slavery as a result of their oppression and segregation by whites.
During the 1800s, African Americans were forced into slavery as a result of their oppression and segregation by whites. The practice of slavery was cruel and inhuman. Slaves were forced to work on plantations where they were treated like animals, not paid for their work. Nor allowed to leave the plantation unless they wanted to escape or be set free (which was rare). And even prevented from marrying each other if they had children together (so no one would pass down their slave status).
Slavery ended in 1865 with the Civil War taking place between North and South America over issues such as race equality or whether states should have sovereignty over territories within them which had been bought from Spain during colonial times. But then sold back after being conquered by France during another war called La Revolution Francaise (French Revolution).
Celebrating black history should continue throughout the year
The celebration of black history should continue throughout the year. Black history is a part of American history. It’s important for everyone to learn about the contributions of African Americans. Including those who fought for their freedom during slavery.
The month of February is dedicated to honoring these people and learning about their struggles, so we want you to know that we’re here every day! We’ll never stop celebrating black culture and promoting equality among all races through education and social activism.”
Conclusion
Black history is a part of our history, and for many people, it is their only history. As Americans, we have the responsibility to learn about our past in order to better understand our country today. Black History Month is an opportunity for us all to celebrate this history. While we reflect on how it impacts us as individuals now and in the future!
