This theme acknowledges the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in Western medicine, but also other ways of knowing (e.g., birthworkers, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, herbalists, etc.) throughout the African Diaspora. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/diversity.unc.edu\/african-american-heritage-month-events-at-unc\/\">UNC also has many events planned<\/a> for the month.<\/p>\n<p>Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. The story of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\">Black History<\/a>\u00a0Month began in 1915, half a century after the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/thirteenth-amendment\">Thirteenth Amendment<\/a>\u00a0abolished\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/slavery\">slavery\u00a0<\/a>in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by Black Americans and other peoples of African descent.<\/p>\n<p>Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/us-presidents\/abraham-lincoln\">Abraham Lincoln<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/frederick-douglass\">Frederick Douglass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures. In the decades that followed, mayors of cities across the country began issuing yearly proclamations recognizing Negro History Week. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/civil-rights-movement\">civil rights movement<\/a>\u00a0and a growing awareness of Black identity, Negro History Week had evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses.<\/p>\n<p>President\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/us-presidents\/gerald-r-ford\">Gerald Ford<\/a>\u00a0officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to \u201cseize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/black-history\/black-history-month\">History.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/asalh.org\/black-history-themes\/\">Association for the Study of African American Life and History<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-49003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/945\/2021\/01\/buddha-image.jpeg\" alt=\"buddha-image\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>February 15 \u2013 Buddhist: Nirvana Day<\/h3>\n<p>Nirvana Day, or Parinirvana, is an annual Buddhist festival.
