The story of Black History Month begins in 1915. At this time, scholar Carter G. Woodson founded what today is called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He would later become the known as the “Father of Black History.”
Woodson was born to formerly enslaved parents in 1875. His formal academic career began with a bachelor’s degree from Kentucky’s Berea College, followed by his second bachelor’s and a master’s from the University of Chicago. Finally, he earned his Ph.D. in history from Harvard University in 1912, making him only the second Black American after W.E.B. DuBois to achieve this feat. Throughout his studies, Woodson found that textbooks and teachers alike largely failed to acknowledge the achievements of African Americans.
Fast forward nearly a decade after he formed the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, the historic figure wanted to do more. In 1924, with the help of Woodson’s fraternity brothers of Omega Psi Phi, the Negro History and Literature Week was created. It soon evolved to Negro Achievement Week and then, in 1926, became known as Negro History Week. The observance sought to honor and educate the public about the accomplishments of Black people.
Woodson is said to have chosen mid-February because both President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist Frederick Douglass — two figures who played a huge role in shaping Black history — were born during the same week. The main reason was that Americans were already honoring Lincoln during that week since his assassination in 1865, and as of Douglass’ death in the late 1890s Black communities had begun to pay tribute to him during that same time.
Momentum grew across the country with each passing year, and by the 1960s, a week had turned into a monthlong celebration annually. In 1976, Gerald Ford became the first president to officially recognize Black History Month, and nearly half a century later, you can observe the occasion all over the U.S. in cities brimming with Black history.
Whether it’s an exhibition, a concert or a tour, there are many ways to recognize Black History Month across the country. U.S. News compiled this list of the top destinations to celebrate the accomplishments in Black history in the month of February — and all year long.
Boston
Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood was called home by many free Black people in the 1800s. The area served as a stop along the Underground Railroad and had a thriving abolitionist community. The 1.6-mile Black Heritage Trail leads you on a self-guided walk through Beacon Hill to learn more about this neighborhood’s significance to Boston‘s Black community and its role in the abolition movement. Travelers walking the trail can download the map and audio tour on the NPS app, and find more information on the NPS website.
Along the trail, you can see the Robert Gould Shaw and Massachusetts 54th Regiment Memorial, which honors the first federally raised regiment of free Black men during Civil War, as well as their white leader. Moviegoers may recognize the regiment as the subject of the 1989 film “Glory.”
The final stops on the trail are part of the Museum of African American History, which consists of two buildings: the Abiel Smith School and the African Meeting House. The Abiel Smith School was a segregated public school built in 1835, making it the country’s oldest public school created solely for Black children, while the African Meeting House is the oldest surviving Black church structure.
The museum has a collection of more than 3,000 items, with artifacts that represent key events throughout Boston’s Black history. Visitors can learn about The Desire — the ship on which the first enslaved Africans were brought to Boston — or about the Emancipation Proclamation, which changed the course of the Civil War and the lives of those enslaved. Timed-entry tickets must be purchased in advance on the museum website.
New York City
New York was one of the last Northern states to abolish slavery. Despite the anti-abolition fervor in New York City leading up to the Civil War, the city became a crucial stop along the Underground Railroad.
Travelers can learn more about the city and its connection to the freedom network on the NYC Slavery & the Underground Railroad Walking Tour run by Inside Out Tours. The 2.5-hour tour highlights stops such as the African Burial Ground, where the remains of an estimated 15,000 free and enslaved Black people were buried in the 16th and 17th centuries. To book a tour, visit the Inside Out Tours website.
The Tenement Museum explores the immigrants, migrants and refugees who called New York their home between the 1860s and 1980s. A Union of Hope: 1869 — one of the museum’s newest permanent exhibits — features an apartment that tells the story of a working-class Black couple. This is the first time that the Tenement Museum has displayed a permanent exhibit reflecting African American tenements, as the institution sought to address its lack of representation for Black New Yorkers. A 75-minute guided tour will accompany the exhibit as well. For more information, visit the Tenement Museum’s website.
NYC is also an iconic spot for nightlife and jazz music. Visitors can take a tour of the Apollo Theater in Harlem, which is famous for its Amateur Night performances. Jazz greats Ella Fitzgerald and Pearl Bailey both made their Apollo debuts at Amateur Night. Tours are available by advance reservation only for groups of 20 or more, but individuals and smaller groups can join an existing tour, if it’s not at capacity. Tours run between an hour and 75 minutes. Reserve your tour on the theater website.
While in Harlem, check out the Harlem Chamber Players’ annual Black History Month Celebration at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. In 2024, this event is scheduled for Feb. 15. The concert is free and open to the public, but you’ll need to RSVP on the Harlem Chamber Players’ website.
Atlanta
The Sweet Auburn Historic District in Atlanta bore witness to much of the city’s civil rights history. During segregation, many wealthy African American businesses and homes moved onto Auburn Avenue, calling it the “richest Negro street in the world.”
It is also here that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born. Travelers can visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park located in the district. The 35-acre park comprises a visitor center, the birthplace and boyhood home of King, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Freedom Hall, and the King Center. (Note: The birth home of King is currently closed for renovations until 2025, but the rest of the facilities on the park campus remain open.)
The King Center was established by King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, and serves as a resource for nonviolent social change. Travelers can visit the crypt of the Kings and the Eternal Flame, which symbolizes the continuing dream of a world with justice, peace and equality for all. Freedom Hall, located on the King Center’s campus, has a second-floor exhibition space honoring King and his wife, as well as Mahatma Gandhi and Rosa Parks. The National Park Service and King Center websites have more information about the park.
Also in the Sweet Auburn district is the APEX Museum. Founded in 1978, it is the oldest Black history museum in Atlanta. APEX, which is an acronym for the African-American Panoramic Experience, takes guests through all things Black history, from an exhibit on the untold story of Africa to displays highlighting African American women in STEM. Consult the museum website for more information.
Travelers wanting a more in-depth historical experience of the city can take the Atlanta Black History and Civil Rights Tour with Roundabout Atlanta Tours & Transportation. The four-hour tour was recognized by Viator in 2023 as one of the best experiences in the U.S. You’ll pass by a variety of Atlanta sights that’ll immerse you in the city’s Black history and culture, and you can even stop at a few. Learn about civil rights landmarks, historical districts and more. For more information, visit Roundabout Atlanta’s website.
Baltimore
“Studying history isn’t just about knowing what happened in the past. It’s about knowing our power in the present,” said Maryland Governor Wes Moore in a proclamation calling 2024 Maryland’s Year of Civil Rights. Experience some of the Black history and culture in Baltimore to see how this statement rings true.
The Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture holds more than 400 years of Maryland’s Black history in its permanent collection. The museum also features special exhibitions, such as one that teaches visitors about Black health care workers. A new exhibit in partnership with a Maryland Institute College of Art capstone project highlights Elizabeth Talford Scott, a Black woman who was key in the fiber arts industry, alongside fiber artwork of Black women from the Chesapeake area. For more information, visit the museum’s website.
The James E. Lewis Museum of Art is located on the campus of Morgan State University. Established in 1951, the museum is considered the first institute to promote Black artists in Maryland and provide an exhibition space for them. Catch one of the museum’s exhibits, such “Elevation from Within: The Study of Art at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.” Consult the art museum’s website for more information.
Morgan State University also manages the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum. Jackson was a civil rights leader and activist who dedicated her life to public service. She pioneered many of the nonviolent resistant tactics in the 1930s that were later used by the likes of King and John Lewis during the civil rights movement. Learn about the City-Wide Young People’s Forum and their fight against Jim Crow laws, or about Jackson’s 35-year tenure as president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP. While admission is free, there is a fee for guided tours, which must be scheduled at least a week in advance. Check out the museum’s website for more details.
Charleston, South Carolina
While there have been many historical and cultural triumphs for this port city, its Black history is at times bright but with many somber milestones as well. The International African American Museum in Charleston sits on the site of the Gadsden’s Wharf, where an estimated 40% of captive Africans entered the U.S. Today the museum and garden tell the story not only of how these captives arrived here, but also how they helped to shape this country’s history.
The museum features more than 150 historical artifacts, 30-plus works of art, nearly 50 films and digital interactive displays. Museumgoers can learn about African culture and the trans-Atlantic slave routes in the museum’s African Roots/African Routes gallery, or about the Gullah Geechee culture and history in another exhibition. Explore the African Ancestors Memorial Garden to reflect and meditate before or after your visit to the museum. Advance tickets are required before visiting. Find more information on the International African American Museum’s website.
The Old Slave Mart Museum is also located on a sacred site in Charleston. The museum’s building is considered possibly the last existing slave auction site in South Carolina. It was used as a slave auction from 1859 until 1863. Today the site tells the story of the city’s slave trade market, as well as how the city was once considered the slave trade capital of America. For more information, visit the Old Slave Mart Museum’s website.
The Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is the oldest AME church in the South. Founded in 1816, the church was raided multiple times in its early days by officials who didn’t want Black people to have their own place of worship. It was burned down in 1822 due to the church’s involvement with Denmark Vesey, a free Black who was the mastermind of a failed slave coup in the same year. The church was rebuilt but sustained damage in the 1886 earthquake, requiring more construction.
This church has hosted an array of notable Black leaders such as Booker T. Washington and King, as well as many civil rights marches. In 2015, the church was the site of a mass shooting where nine people were killed, which led to the Confederate flag being removed from the South Carolina Statehouse. Visitors can take a guided tour of the historic church by appointment only. Visit the Mother Emanuel AME Church’s website for more details.
Columbia, South Carolina
Start your exploration of this city’s Black history with a trip to the Columbia Museum of Art.
