Since the dawn of recorded history humans have tried to classify each
other with various descriptive names in an attempt to organize their environment. The Ancient hebrews used the word "Kushim" from the Egyptian "K'sh" as a specific
label of identifying people from Africa who were of naturally dark complexion. It is difficult to discern whether this label was originally applied merely to skin
tone or if it considered the regional or ethnic identity of groups. This is because ancient cultures did not usually associate skin tone with group identity. A
dark-skinned person was not considered less of a Hebrew or Egyptian than someone of lighter complexion. The early Greeks and Romans called various dark skinned
peoples by various names: Aegypts and Aethiops referred to their burnt colored skin. Melanogaetulians were dark skinned people in the north. Leukaethiops meant
light burnt faces. Until at least the 14th century, this word Aethiops had been the word of choice in Europe and much of the middle east to describe darker skinned
people, especially those from Africa.

Black History Month: Celebrate Year Round
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans. It is a time set aside to recognize the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. African American leaders, artists and writers have helped to shape the character and identity of the American nation. Names such as Harriet Tubman with the Underground Railroad, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Selma and the Montgomery March, as well as the Black Lives Matter movement have influenced the history of America and the world.
African Americans are descended from various ethnic groups. From ethnic groups that lived in Western and Central Africa and the Sahel. Some African Americans are descended from ethnic groups that lived in Eastern and Southeastern Africa. The majority of enslaved Africans belonged ethnic groups that included the Hausa, Bakongo, Igbo, Mandé, Wolof, Akan, Fon, Yoruba, and Makua, among many others. Although these different groups varied in customs, religious theology and language, what they had in common was a way of life that was liken unto the Hebrew Israelites of ancient Israel.
Christianity was forced on the enslaved Africans. Latter, in the South the slaves sat in the upper galleries of white churches and Free Black people in the North set up their own networks of churches.
The (1800–1830s) has been called the "central and defining event in the development of Afro-Christianity." Many enslaved Blacks considered finding a way to return to Africa. Politically and economically, Black people have made substantial strides in the post-civil rights era.
After the Civil Rights Movement gains of the 1950s–1970s (Actually an African American Freedom Struggle), due to government neglect, unfavorable social policies, high poverty rates, changes implemented in the criminal justice system and laws, and a breakdown in traditional family units, African-American communities have been suffering from extremely high incarceration rates. African Americans have the highest imprisonment rate of any major ethnic group in the world.
