What to know about why Black History Month was created
Black History Month was recognized nationally in 1976, when President Gerald Ford designated the month as a time for the public to honor the contributions of Black Americans, according to the museum. The month has since inspired other groups and an appreciation of multicultural backgrounds.
A monument has been erected to honor about 450 Black people buried in unmarked graves at the Taylor City Cemetery.
