107 Jamz salutes African Americans who've made & continue to make history through art, music, inventions and more. Today in Black History Rosa Parks was born.
During Black History month, we are honored to highlight the historical events and groundbreaking achievements of African-Americans. From the unsung heroes of the Underground Railroad to the civil rights movement and the countless inventions that have changed the way we live. We tell their stories.
Thanks to Carter G. Woodson (known as the father of black history), Black History month is celebrated annually here in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom.
I love this time of year because it gives me an opportunity to learn as well as inform others about how rich black history truly is. From the astounding accomplishments, against all odds to the heroism of our forefathers struggle for our civil rights. Every year we remember them and tell there stories.
African Americans have made a profound impact on this country, even though many of our accomplishments go unnoticed in American History books. From bringing the world Jazz and Rap/Hip Hop to the countless inventions used in our daily lives like the traffic single, refrigeration, blood banks, performing the first successful open heart surgery down to America's favorite snack the potato chip.
