"Black history is American history," is a popular phrase used by a multitude of people seeking to legitimate Black history to the general population. Notable personalities such as award-winning journalist and creator of the New York Times' 1619 project Nicole Hannah Jones, civil rights activist and poet Maya Angelou, actor Morgan Freeman, and the "Father of Black history," Carter G. Woodson, have communicated versions of this slogan to emphasize that Black people's histories are deeply rooted within the America story.
