Union County College Celebrates Black History Month
Black History Month began as Negro History Week in the mid 1920. It occurs annually during the month of February to honor the legacies of Abraham Lincoln (born February 12, 1809), Frederick Douglass (born February 14, 1817), and their contemporary counterpart Dr. Martian Luther King Jr. (born January 15, 1939), a notable 20th century civil rights activist. Black History Month celebrates the numerous contributions of African Americans to American history.
