February is a time to recognize African Americans' contributions to society. In that spirit, here is a list of African Americans acting as stewards of the environment.
In 1926, Carter G. Woodson, the son of slaves, established Negro History Week to promote the teaching of African-American history to blacks and whites alike.
African-Americans have contributed to American society in every walk of life, and one purpose of Black History Month is to call attention to some of those who may have escaped notice. Here are 10 brief biographies from the Profile America series produced by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The National Park Service maintains a number of historic sites associated with black history. Ten of those sites are featured here, each with a link to visitors information from the park service.
