   Black History Month has association with the events that happened in the history of the African Diaspora. Since 1976, it is observed annually in the United States of America and Canada in February and the United Kingdom in the October. In the U.S., Black History Month is also known as African-American History Month. The Black History Month actually began as Negro History Week in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson. The goal of Black History Week was to tell the American people about African-Americans' cultural backgrounds and notable achievements. During 1953 and 1965, when most of the black leaders worked in the civil rights movement to incorporate blacks into conventional American life, Malcolm X preached independence. He has believed that black people must develop their own society and ethical values, including the self-help, community-based enterprises that the black Muslims supported. He also taught that African Americans should refuse cooperation with whites. After doing Hajj he had such strong believes in favor of mainstream Islam and socialism, and was soon after assassinated during a speech held at The Audubon Ballroom, NYC. Upon his return from Mecca, Malcolm X discontinued his commitment to racial separatism; although, he was still in favor of Black Nationalism and advocated that blacks in the U.S. be independent. The beliefs of post-Mecca Malcolm X are articulated in the charter of his Organization of Afro-American Unity.
