February is Black History Month in Jamaica, the United States and Canada. October is Black History Month in the United Kingdom.

He also founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), http://www.asalh.org/

The ASALH has announced that the 2011 National Black History Theme is "African Americans and the Civil War". The Woodson Review is an annual magazine with articles on the Black History Theme.
