Abstract I'll Make Me a World: A Hundred Years of Black History Month by Jarvis R. Givens examines the origins, development, and contemporary significance of Black History Month. The book traces the commemoration's beginnings as Negro History Week, established in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, and explores its evolution over the past century. Drawing on archival research, educational history, and personal reflection, Givens analyzes the role of Black educators and communities in preserving and transmitting Black historical knowledge. The work situates Black History Month within broader discussions of historical memory, education, and public discourse in the United States.
