Quote of the Day

This Black History Month marks one hundred years of Black history commemorations.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson came up with the concept in 1926 as a weeklong celebration that later evolved into Black History Month.

A lot has changed since the first Black history observance, and one woman has been alive for it all. Amanda Page just celebrated her 100th birthday.

She said she saw the marches, got her voting rights, but still sees so much that needs to be done today. Especially learning about Black history.
