February is Black History Month. It began as Black History Week in 1926 to celebrate the birthdays of important Black Americans like Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. In 1976, it became Black History Month during the bicentennial. Carter Godwin Woodson is considered the "Father of Black History" for promoting the study of Black history and multiculturalism. Black History Month pays tribute to African American contributions and the theme in 2013 was about the Emancipation Proclamation and March on Washington. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were landmark laws against discrimination that resulted from civil rights activism.

Black History Month is celebrated in February to remember African Americans who struggled for civil rights in the United States. Over the 1700s and 1800s, laws prohibited slaves from voting, owning land, or learning to read. Figures like Crispus Attucks, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and others fought against slavery and worked to gain rights and freedom for African Americans through organizations, protests, and speeches. In the 1960s, the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and others used nonviolent protests like sit-ins and bus boycotts to push for desegregation and end laws enforcing racial segregation. The civil rights struggle had an enduring impact and inspiredBlack History Month

The document discusses how American lives were affected socially and economically during World War II. Socially, women entered the workforce in large numbers, gaining new independence and freedom. Racial tensions increased as African Americans migrated north and Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps. Economically, rationing was implemented to conserve resources for the war effort, while incomes and savings rose as Americans invested in war bonds. Nearly all Americans contributed to the war effort through these social and economic sacrifices.African American/Black History Month Presentation

The document provides a summary of the colonization and settlement of North America by Europeans and the resulting impact on native populations. It describes how the Americas were originally populated over 12,000 years ago by people migrating from Eurasia. It then outlines how European colonization beginning in the 15th century displaced native groups from their lands through warfare, broken treaties and policies like Manifest Destiny that promoted westward expansion. This led to the loss of native populations and cultures as well as ongoing bitterness over the broken promises and violence committed against indigenous groups in the name of progress and imperialism.Freemen Blacks in Colonial America

African American Freemen came from various backgrounds such as freed slaves, immigrants from the West Indies and Cuba, and those from the Louisiana Purchase. They made up the colonial population in parts of the North and South, enjoying rights similar to other colonists. However, in the late 1700s, white supremacy began limiting their freedoms and preventing them from certain occupations and education. By the 1800s, free black communities achieved some wealth and social involvement, though the majority lived in poverty. Some became prosperous business owners and inventors, contributing to the early African American middle class. Their political involvement and representation varied between the North and South as slavery expanded.The Western History AssociationCalifornias Yuki Indians .docx

California's Yuki Indians: Defining
Genocide in Native American History
Benjamin Madley
This article summarizes the heretofore incomplete and disputed assessment
of the Yuki genocide, narrates the cataclysm, r??valu?tes state and federal
culpability, and explains how this catastrophe constituted genocide under the
1948 United Nations Genocide Convention. Finally, the article explores how
other case studies and the convention may inform future research on genocide
in California and the United States in general.
"Accounts are daily coming in from the counties on the Coast Range, of
sickening atrocities and wholesale slaughters of great numbers of defense
less Indians . . . For an evil of this magnitude, someone is responsible.
Either our government, or our citizens, or both, are to blame."1

six Missourian explorers
crested a steep ridge, some 150 miles north of San Francisco. After days of hard travel
through mountainous, broken terrain, they encountered a stunning sight. Spread below
them was 25,000 acres of lush, flat land. The next day, the six horsemen descended
to the floor of what is now known as Round Valley, in northern Mendocino County.
According to Frank Asbill, son of one of the six, "they had not gone far when the tall,
waving, wild oats began to wiggle in a thousand different p ...The month of February is designated as Black History Month.docx

Students of history continue to ignore the simple fact that all individu?
als are born by mothers; that everybody was once a child; that people and
peoples begin in their nurseries; and that society consists of individuals
in the process of developing from children into parents. [Erik Erikson,
1959]1
Although children were present in substantial numbers dur?
ing late antebellum slavery, little scholarly attention has been paid to
them. Even less concern has been directed toward their development.2
Remarking upon slavery studies in 1986, Leslie Howard Owens points
out that "children are often so closely connected with the behavior of
adults and parents that the historical record needs considerable matur-
ing." When childhood is discussed, children's lives are often seen as dis?
tinct from that of their parents and separate from the brutalities that
they suffered. When evidence is presented from the slave autobiogra-
phies and slave interviews, one is led to believe that adults conveyed
