Black History Month <\/strong><\/summary>

Did you know that Black History Month initially began as a weeklong celebration? Founded by Harvard educated historian Carter G. Woodson, in 1925 as Negro History Week, the celebration intended to raise awareness of the contributions by blacks to American life and culture was eventually extended to a month in 1976 by President Gerald Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women’s History Month<\/strong><\/summary>
\n

Women\u2019s History Month has its origins in a local initiative started by the Education Task Force of Sonoma County Commission in Santa Rosa, California which created Women\u2019s History Week to coincide with International Women\u2019s Day (March 8). Within two years the local event became a national movement leading President Jimmy Carter to issue a Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8, 1980 as National Women\u2019s History Week, later extended to a month by another Presidential Proclamation in 1987 (source: womenshistorymonth.gov<\/a>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hispanic Heritage Month <\/strong><\/summary>
\n

National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15 and recognizes the historical and cultural contributions to America by those with ancestry from Spain, Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Initially started as Hispanic Heritage Week during Lyndon Johnson\u2019s presidency in 1968, the celebration was expanded to a month under President Ronald Reagan\u2019s administration in 1988. The unique timeframe for the month\u2019s observance is significant as it commemorates the independence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native American Heritage Month<\/strong><\/summary>
\n

The origins of Native American Heritage Month date back to 1915, when Red Fox James \u2013 a member of the Blackfoot Tribe \u2013 rode horseback seeking support from a day to honor Native Americans. He eventually gained an audience with 24 states at the White House for his proposal. In 1916, New York became the first state to oblige his request, and Illinois followed suit three years later. What initially started as a daylong celebration was extended to a month when President George H.W. Bush formally declared November as Native American Heritage Month in 1990.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
