Black History Month originated from the work of Carter G. Woodson. Woodson was a scholar dedicated to celebrating the historical accomplishments of Black people. This led to the establishment of Black History Month. Woodson felt that Black people should be proud of their heritage and that all Americans should not overlook the achievements of Black Americans.
With funding from several philanthropic foundations, Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History 1915 in Chicago, describing its mission as the scientific study of the “neglected aspects of Negro life and history.” 
In 1969, Black educators and students at Kent State University proposed Black History Month. The first celebration of Black History Month took place at Kent State University in 1970.  Black History Month received official recognition in 1975 when President Ford urged Americans to recognize the contributions of Black citizens. In 1976 President Ford officially recognized Black History Month as a proclamation. In 1986 Congress passed Public Law 99-244 which designated February as National Black History Month. Since 1976 every President has designated February as Black History Month.
