Black history and culture is such a part of the American fabric that it's difficult to imagine a time when that wasn't so. Established as Negro History Week in the 1920's by Carter G. Woodson, February was chosen for the celebration because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln were born in this month. Extended to a month-long celebration in 1976, Black History Month is an opportunity to emphasize the history and achievements of African Americans - and especially gospel music. With names like Blind Boys of Alabama, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Tramaine Hawkins, and Andrae Crouch, this value priced package of high value music is the essential collection of gospel music.
