February has been known as Black History Month every since Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week in Washington, D.C., in 1926. Woodson was the second African American to earn a PhD in history from Harvard University. The month of February was chosen because it contains the birthdays of both former president Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass.
