What is Black History Month?

Every February in the USA, we honor the achievements of our African-American culture with articles, documentaries, movies, special events and, more specifically in this case, diversity career events and job fairs. Black History Month began in 1926, when Carter G. Woodson created and promoted Negro History Week, now more commonly called Black History Week. In 1976, Black History Week evolved into Black History Month, also called African American Heritage Month.

What are "diversity" career events?

The ultimate goal of diversity career events, is to encourage or provide equal opportunity employment. Collectively, these events consist of job, educational and networking opportunities for American ethnic groups, including African, Asian, Hispanic and Native Americans. Some also serve women, military veterans, people with disabilities and other groups in need or underrepresented in the workplace. Diversity career events is a broad term that includes job fairs, career workshops, learning seminars, award ceremonies and other types of career-oriented gatherings. Many of America's top corporations sponsor or participate in these equal-opportunity events.
