WASCNCTON, DC-The
Association for the Study of
Afro-American life and Hbv
tory. Inc. which originated
the National Afro-American
History Month observance
(formerly Negro History
Week) for promotion of
ethnic understanding in
America has selected
"History: Torch for .the
Future as a theme of
February 1979 obsenrance.
The popular obsenrance
which has become a feature
of American life was the
"brahvchiW" of Dr. Carter
G. Woodson in 1926. Dr.
Woodson revered as "Father
of Black History" in the
United State had earlier
in 1915 founded the Asso
ciation for the Study of
Negro Life and History,
now The Association for the
Study of Afro-American
Life and History for the
purposes of (1) getting
black persons to appreciate
their African history, (2)
making Afro-Americans
knowledgeable about contri
butions of the black inven
tors and scientists to the
founding, development and
continuance of American
life, and (3) increasing un
derstanding of all Americans
about their own "ethnic"
heritage and getting all per-.
sons to appreciate black
persons in the nation.
In 1978, the Afro-Aroeri-.
can History Month received
statements of approval from
President Jimmy Carter;
governors of most of the .
states; mayors and presi
dents of City councils of
most of the largest cities
in America. In addition,
many of the officials of
smaller city , governments
also observe and promote;
