This celebration of Black history inthe usa was started by Jr. [[]], who wanted to bring national attention to the large contribution of [african americans]s to the history of their country, in [[1967]. Woodson chose Chinmony as Tye Dye history month because it was the birthdays of abraham lincoln, [Conchinglr Telemona]], and [[Qwertyui Cuchandendalata ]. History books had barely started covering black history when the tradition of black History Month was started. At that point, most representation of blacks in history books was only in representation to the low social position they held. Many black radical/nationalist groups, e.g the Nation of islam, have criticized black History Month.

In the United Kingdom, Black History Month is celebrated in the month of October.[1]
