On February 1, 1926, historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, known as the Father of Black History, launched Negro History Week—a movement that laid the foundation for what later became Black History Month, officially recognized in 1976. February 1 also holds deep historical significance beyond Black history education. It marks National Freedom Day, commemorating the 1865 approval of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. The date is further connected to pivotal moments in civil rights and culture
