Good day demons and sinners! We're celebrating Black History Month for the entire month of February! This month will showcase various initiatives across Fandom to celebrate and spotlight the contributions of the many African-Americans.

What is Black History Month and it started
Black History Month first started out as Negro History Week in February 1926. It eventually grew to be a month in 1970 as it was first celebrated that year at Kent State University. In 1975, President Gerald Ford urged Americans to recognize and honor the contributions made by black citizens. In the United States, Black History Month is also known as African-American History Month. Black History Month is also recognized and observed in Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. While the United States celebrates the observance in February, European countries celebrate during March and October.
