Black History Month

Black History Month officially began in 1976, when President Gerald R. Ford asked Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Every year since then, every American president has dedicated February as African American History Month.

KLCS TV honors Black History Month through a series of programs and features that we will broadcast throughout the month of February. Some of these programs were specifically selected to celebrate Black History, many are regular features and reflect our on-going commitment to the diverse community we serve.
