A remembrance of important people and events in the history of the AFRICAN diaspora. Since 1976, it is celebrated annually in the United States of America and Canada in February and the United Kingdom im the month of October. In the U.S., Black History Month is also referred to as African-American History Month.
The Remembrance has its roots in 1926 by United States historian Carter G. woodson as "Negro History Week". Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two (2) Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass. Woodson also founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now the [Association for the Study of African American Life and History.]
Black History Month sparks an annual debate about the continued usefulness of a month dedicaed to the history of one (1) race. Some critics contend that Black History Month undermines the contention that African American History is simply American History. Critical op-ed pieces have appeared in the "Cincinnati Enquirer" and "USA Today".
Unfortunately, it is all too possible that Tee Scott, an innovative DJ and producer/remixer who began impacting New York's underground dance scene in the early '70s, will never get the due that he deserves. A shy, humble, soft-spoken individual who passed away in 1995, Scott is just as much a key figure behind the evolution of dance music as François Kevorkian, Frankie Knuckles, and Larry Levan -- if not more so. His legendary sets at infamous clubs like Better Days and Zanzibar continue to be talked about by those who were present for them, and his often reconstructive remixes -- including Northend's "Tee's Happy," a club hit that Madonna more or less appropriated as the basis of "Holiday" -- trail blazed the art with methodologies that inspired peers as well as followers.
