I never asked about Watergate. I simply asked what were Hunt’s duties at the White House. They volunteered he was innocent when nobody asked if he was guilty.

Black History Month

Black History Month first originated as Negro History Week by the Godfather of Black History Carter G. Woodson in 1926. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) chose the second week in February to commemorate the birthdays of American historical figures Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass. Woodson believed it to be crucial to teach about African-American history in schools and to celebrate the race as a whole. Negro History Week fought against harmful myths associated with Black life dating back to slavery, that argued enslaved people were satisfied with their subjugation and were better off in that position. Black newspapers and churches supported the movement by lending important literature and securing more publicity. The week focused on countless Black men and women who contributed to American society in every way and taught true American history.

“We are going back to that beautiful history and it is going to inspire us to greater achievements.” - Carter G. Woodson

“From literature the African was excluded altogether. He was not supposed to have expressed any thought worth knowing. The philosophy in the African proverbs and in the rich folklore of that continent was ignored to give preference to that developed on the distant shores of the Mediterranean.” -  Carter G. Woodson, The Mis-Education of the Negro 1933

The Black History Month we know of today is due to the Black educators and students of Kent State University, the month was first proposed in February of 1969; their celebration took place a year later from January 2 to February 28, 1970. The observance of Black History Month spread throughout the nation and in 1975, former U.S. President Gerald Ford issued a Message on the Observance of Black History Week External to "recognize the important contribution made to our nation's life and culture by black citizens." 

In 1976, ASALH expanded this commemoration of Black history in the United States from a week-long observance to Black History Month, which also has been known as African American History Month. In the same year, President Ford issued a Message on the Observance of Black History Month External. In subsequent years, presidents continued to issue messages External honoring Black History Month. In 1986, Congress passed Public Law 99-244, which designated February 1986 as "National Black (Afro-American) History Month.” This law noted that February 1, 1986 would “mark the beginning of the sixtieth annual public and private salute to Black History.” The law further directed the president to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe February 1986 as Black History Month with the appropriate ceremonies and activities. President Reagan issued Presidential Proclamation 5443 External, which proclaimed that “the foremost purpose of Black History Month is to make all Americans aware of this struggle for freedom and equal opportunity.” This proclamation stated further that this month was a time “to celebrate the many achievements of African Americans in every field from science and the arts to politics and religion." Since 1996, presidents have issued annual proclamations for National Black History Month. In January 1996, President Clinton issued Presidential Proclamation 6863 for “National African American History Month." The proclamation emphasized the theme for that year, the achievements of Black women from Sojourner Truth to Mary McLeod Bethune and Toni Morrison. Since 1996, Congress has regularly passed resolutions honoring Black History Month. In February 1996, the Senate passed Senate Resolution 229 commemorating Black History Month and the contributions of Black American U.S. Senators." - Sourced from Library of Congress
