WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National Women's History Month dates back to March 8, 1857, when women from New York City factories staged a protest over working conditions. International Women's Day was first observed in 1909, but it wasn't until 1981 that Congress established National Women's History Week to be commemorated the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution for Women's History Month, and the President has issued a proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, American historian Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week. The first celebration occurred on Feb. 12, 1926. For many years, the second week of February was set aside for this celebration to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist/editor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, as part of the nation's bicentennial, the week was expanded into Black History Month. Each year, U.S. presidents proclaim February as National African-American History Month.

We celebrate Women's History Month annually in March to observe the contributions that women have made to our society in the past and during contemporary times. (Now, Tweens, remember to develop that main idea.) The idea to pay tribute to women for their contributions started in 1911, with International Women's Day. (Now, Tweens, it's time to add detail to that main idea.) Then, in 1979, Women's History Week was created to coincide with International Women's Day, which is observed on March 8. This was followed in 1981 with a resolution passed by Congress to officially recognize Women's History Week. Finally, in 2001, Congress passed a resolution proclaiming March as Women's History Month. (There you have it, Tweens: Your first paragraph. Cool job.) Now, to all our Nas+^sup 3^ winners wh...

RICHMOND - The African-American story in the Richmond region is one of struggle, strength, courage and determination. From the slave markets in Shockoe Bottom to the battlefields of the Civil War, and from arts and entrepreneurship in the Jackson Ward neighborhood to Civil Rights protests downtown, African-Americans have made their mark in all corners of the Richmond region. Visitors are invited to learn about the African-American experience in Central Virginia at a number of special Black History Month events, exhibits and tours throughout February.

A few years ago, I wrote a newspaper story for Black History Month about Hollywood films and their historical portrayals of African-Americans. In response, I received several hostile phone calls (anonymous, of course) challenging the very idea of having a month devoted to the study of black history. Had they left return phone numbers, I would have explained to my critics that for far too long the history of African-Americans, as well as the history of other minority groups and women, had been neglected or distorted. Furthermore, the history of African- Americans should be viewed as an essential part of the study of American history, as our lives have been intertwined since the earliest days of the colonization of North America. So here are some recommended DVDs for ...
