Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year Black History Month sparks an annual debate about the use of the month of February to celebrate the history and accomplishments of African-Americans. Although February provides an amazing opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of African-Americans throughout history, it's also important to honor African-American history during the other eleven months of the year as well.While Black History Month is synonymous with prominent figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Maya Angelou and President Barack Obama, there are countless other African-Americans who have made a profound impact in history.The best way to extend the spirit of Black History Month is to continue recognizing each day of the year with other significant contributions African-Americans have made in our society and the world. The incredible men and women featured in this book have contributed to the fields of Education, Science, Technology, Politics, Law, Medicine, Sports and Entertainment, to name a few. This book features their accomplishments for all 366 days of the year.Recognizing the accomplishments of African-Americans began in 1926 with Negro History Week, a commemoration launched by Historian, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. He chose the second week of February to coincide with and pay homage to the birthdays of President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. He credited the two for bringing an end to slavery in America. The Federal Government officially recognized Black History Month in conjunction with the 1976 United States Bicentennial Celebration.

Download or read book Days to Celebrate written by Lee Bennett Hopkins and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2004-12-28 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Days to Celebrate Lee Bennett Hopkins has collected an astounding array of information to show us that each day of the year gives us a reason to celebrate. For every month he has compiled a calendar of birthdays, holidays, historic events, inventions, world records, thrilling firsts, and more. And for every month he has selected surprising poems in honor of some of the people and events commemorated in the calendar. There are poems about the seasons and holidays, of course, but there are also poems about a "Flying-Man" (for February 4, Charles Lindbergh's birthday), birds (for April 26, John James Audubon's birthday), windshield wipers (patented November 10), and earmuffs (patented December 21). Beloved poets, such as Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Christina Rossetti, are joined by new voices in sixty poems that take us on a remarkable journey through a year -- and through the years. Stephen Alcorn's illustrations, based on the style of art found in old almanacs, are airy, whimsical, and thought provoking. They perfectly match the breadth and depth of this volume. Brilliantly conceived and elegantly illustrated, Days to Celebrate is a book that pays tribute to the people, events, and poetry that make up our past and will inspire our future.

Download or read book Black History Should Be Taught 365 Days A Year written by Jasper Cephus and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black history is unknown to so many people, just me alone cannot reach them all with my book. Black humans have more historical information than any other people in the world. The study of Black history has become a branch of knowledge that feeds the world religious and spiritual life. Control media use deceptive words or actions to coverup the truth about Black history. There have been intentional destructions of ancient Black historical statues, art, and documents written in stone. Fortunately, some of the Black history survived and that proved much of Black history is hidden, then falsely recreated in the images of white people. This is damaging to the young Black and White children. 1. White children are living a false sense of superiority complex for life. 2. Black children living, haven their identity stolen from them is psychologically depressing. I wrote this book to heighten the awareness around the world what has been done around to over 150,000 years of civilized Black history. 1. recreating ancient statues in the images of white people. 2. Changing the color of ancient art . 3. Stop defacing ancient statues. 4 Remove racist lies in the good book. That is why I wrote: Black History Should Be 365 Days A Year.

Download or read book Forty Million Dollar Slaves written by William C. Rhoden and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An explosive and absorbing discussion of race, politics, and the history of American sports.”—Ebony From Jackie Robinson to Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe, African American athletes have been at the center of modern culture, their on-the-field heroics admired and stratospheric earnings envied. But for all their money, fame, and achievement, says New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, black athletes still find themselves on the periphery of true power in the multibillion-dollar industry their talent built. Provocative and controversial, Rhoden’s $40 Million Slaves weaves a compelling narrative of black athletes in the United States, from the plantation to their beginnings in nineteenth-century boxing rings to the history-making accomplishments of notable figures such as Jesse Owens, Althea Gibson, and Willie Mays. Rhoden reveals that black athletes’ “evolution” has merely been a journey from literal plantations—where sports were introduced as diversions to quell revolutionary stirrings—to today’s figurative ones, in the form of collegiate and professional sports programs. He details the “conveyor belt” that brings kids from inner cities and small towns to big-time programs, where they’re cut off from their roots and exploited by team owners, sports agents, and the media. He also sets his sights on athletes like Michael Jordan, who he says have abdicated their responsibility to the community with an apathy that borders on treason. The power black athletes have today is as limited as when masters forced their slaves to race and fight. The primary difference is, today’s shackles are invisible. Praise for Forty Million Dollar Slaves “A provocative, passionate, important, and disturbing book.”—The New York Times Book Review “Brilliant . . . a beautifully written, complex, and rich narrative.”—Washington Post Book World “A powerful call for more black athletes to give back to their communities.”—Los Angeles Times
