February is Black History Month.

This month is important to recognise and celebrate the history and culture of black people and for everyone to educate themselves on black history. We highlight contributions from influential black educators such as Mary McLeod Bethune, a lifelong educator who founded the Bethune-Cookman college for black students before rising to the government position of Director of Negro Affairs of the National Youth Administration. Carter G Woodson was also the founder of the Association for The Study Of African American Life and History and has been nicknamed "the father of Black history" for his contributions to the study of black history.
