What Is It About Black History That Frightens the Hell Out of the Far Right?

Scholar Molefi Kete Asante discusses the radical origins of Black History Month and how it confronts cultural hegemony.

In February 1926, the Black historian and scholar Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week, which later became known as Black History Month. In 1915, along with others, Woodson also helped to establish the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and, in 1916, he started the Journal of Negro History. By 1933, Woodson’s powerful book, The Miseducation of the Negro, was published.
