Few people seem to give it a second thought The activities planned at Western d uring the month of February will enlighten many people about African- American history. African-American History Month began in 1926 as Black History Week and was the brainchild of Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson grew up in Virginia and received degrees from the University of Chicago and Harvard University. He published The Journal of Negro History and The Negro History Bulletin (both to which WCU's Hunter Library subscribes) as well as several books. Black History Week eventually evolved into African-American History Month (February) which is a time to educate people about the history of African-Americans. The month and activities organized on campus are not just for African-Americans but for everyone to learn and become aware of the achievementsofAfrican-Americanmenand women. WCUhas several organizations thatare involved in planning the different events for African-American History Month: the Office of Minority Student Affairs, the Organization of Ebony Students (OES), Project Care and Last Minute Productions. One activity is a movie series featuring African- American filmmakers. "Menace II Society" and "Poetic Justice" are two of the films to be shown. An educational film series is being sponsored by the Office of Minority Student Affairs. A performance by the Minneapolis Gospel Sound and an event called "Showtime at the Apollo" are also scheduled during the month of February. Many organizations will have educational and entertaining activities and events scheduled to share and celebratethe achievements, people and ideas that comprise African-American History Month. Throughout February, the Western Carolinian will profile African-Americans, past and present, and highlight organizations and students at WCU that are working to change the future.
