African-American, Black History, & Civil Rights Educational Posters, Prints, & Charts Index
for Black History Month in social studies classrooms, home schoolers, theme decor for offices.

Black History celebrations, first as a week of commemoration and then as a full month, have been recognized annually since 1926. February was chosen as Black History Month by Dr. Carter G. Woodson because Frederick Douglass, Langston Hughes and Abraham Lincoln were born in February. Rosa Parks was also born in February (1913), but as of the establishment of Black History Month, her great contribution to Civil Rights was almost 30 years in the future. [more February posters]
