February- Black History Month

It’s Black History Month in America. But this year, teachers who talk about that history may fear their lessons could get them fired or funding for their school cut — because in states across the country, lawmakers are passing educational gag orders to restrict what teachers can say and teach in the classroom about race.

Historian Carter G. Woodson began Black History Month nearly 100 years ago as “Negro History Week.” This annual February celebration of African-American history and experience has been a staple in schools across the United States since the 1970s.
