The Purpose of Achievement Week
International Achievement Week is a mandated program of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. that was originally designed to promote the study of African American life and history. National Achievement Week began at the 1920 Grand Conclave in Nashville, TN. Brother Carter G. Woodson inspired the idea. In 1927 at Bro. Carter G. Woodson’s urging the fraternity made National Negro Achievement Week an annual observance. In 1976 this commemoration evolved into Black History Month. The Achievement Week Program recognizes those individuals at the local and national levels who have made significant contributions toward improving the quality of life for African Americans.
