Made official in 1976 by President Gerald Ford, Black History Month occurs every February and was created to teach us about the contributions Black people have made that were too often left out of the history books. All are worth remembering as a lesson to future generations.Every year in the United States we celebrate the achievements of African Americans through Black History Month. We acknowledge that the collection contains both reputable and disreputable people. This is a collection of noteworthy Manitobans from the past, compiled by the Manitoba Historical Society. This page was prepared by Gordon Goldsborough.
