The Word Boston

Throughout February, we celebrate Black History Month, an annual observance that originated in the United States. It is also known as African-American History Month. It has received official recognition from governments in the United States and Canada, and more recently has been observed in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It began as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated from February 1 to March 1 in the United States and Canada, while in Ireland and the United Kingdom it is observed in October.
