NAACP sets educational black history program

Fayette County librarian Christeen Snell will address the Feb 12 meeting of the Fayette NAACP, 4 p.m. at the Gathering Place, 203 Macintosh Trail in Peachtree City.

Snell will give an educational presentation on black American history to commemorate Black History Month. Black History Month began as Negro History Week in 1926 and became known as Black History Month in 1976. Carter G. Woodson, author and historian, is known as the “Father of African-American History” because he was influential in promoting the teaching and study of African-American history.

The public is invited.
