Walker, who was the first U.S. woman to become a self-made millionaire; George Washington Carver, who derived nearly 300 products from the peanut; Rosa Parks, who sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and galvanized the civil rights movement; and Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Read on for more Black history facts.

Origins of Black History Month, NAACP

NAACP: Spurred by growing racial violence in the early 20th century, and particularly by 1908 race riots in Springfield, Illinois, a group of African American leaders joined together to form a new permanent civil rights organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP). February 12, 1909, was chosen because it was the centennial anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.

Famous Lawyers, Activists, Scientists and Politicians

Supreme Court Justice: Thurgood Marshall was the first African American ever appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. He was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson and served on the court from 1967 to 1991.

Eminent Scientist: George Washington Carver developed 300 derivative products from peanuts among them cheese, milk, coffee, flour, ink, dyes, plastics, wood stains, soap, linoleum, medicinal oils and cosmetics.

First Senator: Hiram Rhodes Revels was the first African American ever elected to the U.S. Senate. He represented the state of Mississippi from February 1870 to March 1871.

Famous Black Athletes

Heavyweight Champ: Jack Johnson became the first African American man to hold the World Heavyweight Champion boxing title in 1908. He held onto the belt until 1915.

First Professional Black Baseball Player: On April 5, 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play Major League Baseball when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. He led the league in stolen bases that season and was named Rookie of the Year.

First Black Athlete to Compete in International Tennis: Althea Gibson became the first African American to compete in a pro-world tennis tour and in 1956, the first African American woman to win a Grand Slam title. Overall, Gibson garnered 11 Grand Slam wins, including six singles titles. Next, Gibson turned to professional golf and made more history by becoming the first African American competitor on the women's pro golf tour in the 1960s.

First Black Millionaire, Billionaire and Oscar Winner

Self-Made Millionaire: Madam C.J. Walker was born on a cotton plantation in Louisiana and became wealthy after inventing a line of African American hair care products. She established Madame C.J. Walker Laboratories and was also known for her philanthropy.

Oscar Winner: In 1940, Hattie McDaniel was the first African American performer to win an Academy Award-the film industry's highest honor-for her portrayal of a loyal slave governess in Gone With the Wind.

First Black Billionaire: Before Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan joined the billionaire's club, Robert Johnson became the first African American billionaire when he sold the cable station he founded, Black Entertainment Television (BET) in 2001.

First Black President, Black Vice President, Population Growth

First Black President: In 2008, Barack Obama became the first Black president of the United States.

First Black Vice President: In January 2021, Kamala Harris became the first woman of African or Asian descent to become vice president. Harris's mother immigrated to the United States from India and her father immigrated from Jamaica.

Population Growth: The Black population of the United States in 1870 was 4.8 million. In 2020, the U.S. Census found there were 46.9 million Black residents in the United States-and the number of people identifying with more than one race increased by more than 276 percent since the 2010 census.

Black history is in its name, is his story or even her story about black history. This month is more than a month, it's a month where Black Americans continue fighting for our rights and equality. Black history month is not just a month, it is a year - all year, and all the time.

To me black history is to shine a light on black people across the world, to support blacks and what we did for the community. Black people are special, we are different. Not just from the tone of our skin but the way that we act, the way we eat, the way we surround ourselves with others. We have melanin. We Have History.

Black History honors all black people from all periods of u.s. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

Black history is important for all students because most of the things that happened in history are still happening today.

We think of slavery as a thing of the past, but mass incarceration and its gateway, the school to prison pipeline, are the new slavery.

Black History is the history of people of color. The history behind people of color is significant because it educates us on how the past was, how people of color were treated, and how not everyone had freedom. It shows and tells us how America used to be then and now. That's why a month is dedicated to them AKA Black History Month.
