Why Black History Month?
Jamrich
Dr. Carter Wilson discusses the establishment of Black History Month by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Drawing from the works of a long list of scholars--including Carter G. Woodson, Basil Davidson, WEB DuBois, Barbara/Karen Fields, Peter Linebaugh, Toni Morrison, Gary Nash, J.A. Rogers, and many others--Dr. Wilson demonstrates that neither world history nor American history can be understood without an understanding of the roles and contributions of Africans and African Americans.
