SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:In 1915\, in response to the lack of information on the accomplishments of Black people available to the public\, historian Carter G. Woodson co-founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. In 1926\, the group declared the second week of February as “Negro History Week” to recognize the contributions of African Americans to U.S. history. Few people studied Black history and it wasn’t included in textbooks prior to the creation of Negro History Week. \nThis week was chosen because it includes the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass\, an abolitionist (someone who wanted to end the practice of enslaving people)\, and former U.S. president Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln led the United States during the Civil War\, which was primarily fought over the enslavement of Black people in the country. Many schools and leaders began recognizing the week after its creation. \nThe week-long event officially became Black History Month in 1976 when U.S. president Gerald Ford extended the recognition to “honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Black History Month has been celebrated in the United States every February since. \nClick here for Black History Month lessons and resources from NEA.

SUMMARY:César Chávez Day
DESCRIPTION:On Cesar Chavez Day\, we celebrate one of America’s greatest champions for social justice. Raised into the life of a migrant farm worker\, he toiled alongside men\, women\, and children who performed daily\, backbreaking labor for meager pay and in deplorable conditions. They were exposed to dangerous pesticides and denied the most basic protections\, including minimum wages\, health care\, and access to drinking water. Cesar Chavez devoted his life to correcting these injustices\, to reminding us that every job has dignity\, every life has value\, and everyone — no matter who you are\, what you look like\, or where you come from — should have the chance to get ahead.
