As Black History Month gets underway, the University of Cincinnati celebrates the contributions and achievements of African Americans nationally and locally with a lineup of musical performances, panel discussions and workshops.
What began in 1926 as a celebration of Negro history became an annual week-long celebration during the second week of February to coincide with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. By 1976, the United States government officially recognized Black History Month as an annual celebration of the contributions of and achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their important role in U.S. history.
