Below right: Duke Ellington raps with Black Student Union members at Berkeley High School, 1969. 30 January 2002 In anticipation of Februarys month-long celebration of Black History Month, Carolyn Alexander, librarian at McClymonds High School in West Oakland, is gathering information on the Black Panther Party, the controversial African-American organization born in Oakland in the 1960s. Most of our students are curious about the Black Panthers, says Alexander. Were the Black Panthers violent? Were there other ethnic groups besides African Americans in the movement? Were women active in the organization? These, she says, are common questions of high school seniors. To help provide answers, Moffitt librarian Lynn Jones is culling a large campus archive for digitized photos of the Panthers. Jones directs the California Heritage Project, which helps history come alive for students through Internet access to its large digitized archive, and which is collaborating with local high school teachers and librarians on a collection of resources for students.

Often called the "Father of Black History," Woodson chose February for this observance because the birthdays of abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln fall in this month. During the early 1970s, the name of the celebration was changed to Black History Week. It was expanded to Black History Month in 1976.
