Get Into These Final Events For Women’s History Month: Week 4

Close out Women’s History Month with these extraordinary events.

The National Women’s History Alliance educators launched the initial Women’s History Week in 1980 to improve women’s representation in American history education and to mark the month of March as Women’s History Month.

The United States government recognized its first official Women’s History Month observance through a declaration by Jimmy Carter before Congress, which extended recognition to the entire month of March in 1987.

Museums, libraries, and cultural institutions nationwide host programming around Women’s History that includes exhibitions, film screenings, and public discussion panels.

To wrap this month-long immersion into Women’s History Month, check out the conclusion of BLACK ENTERPRISE’s four-week series on things to do to celebrate women’s worth.
