we celebrate African American History Month? History We celebrate
African American History month in February. It all started with
Negro History week started in This is a big celebration because all
the African Americans, like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, Mae
Jemison,and more, have helped the US gain the freedom we deserve
and our justice we have earned! Why do we celebrate? Without help
from our past, segregation would still be a thing. For those who
don't know SEGREGATION is something that pulls you apart from other
people/ things. An example was like Rosa Parks on the Public bus.
She stood up for herself and said no because she wanted to sit down
and not let the white person. This is a very famous event that
happened in our history that got us a step closer from being free
from segregation. Black History month is a month where we celebrate
all the African Americans that helped us throughout our history.
From segregation to letting us sit on a bus this month is all about
the Africans that stood up for themselves even if it meant to be
locked up. Black History Month-Famous figures Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated after trying to stop segregation
and have equal rights for all colors of skin. Martin Luther King
Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated as well after giving a
speech of a dream he had of having equal rights for all men,women,
and children. Rosa Parks Rosa parks was arrested after standing up
for herself on a public bus after a white person tried to make her
stand from her seat so they could sit. She disobeyed and they
arrested her. Jackie Robinson Jackie Robinson was segregated from
his own baseball team because he was black. They still let him play
but not let him eat,sleep,or drink from the same fountain from the
other players. President Roosevelt was the one that decided to put
the Civil Rights Act into action. He thought it would be the best
idea for all people that were with segregation. Civil Rights Act

legislation in the United States that outlawed discrimination based
on race,color, religion, sex, or national origin. Martin Luther
