American History links to good info for kids Celebrating Black History began in
1926, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Harvard Ph.D., initiated "Negro History
Week." Dr. Woodson, a historian, chose the second week in February because
it included the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976,
the Bicentennial (200th birthday) of the U.S.A., the week-long observance was
extended to the entire month of February in order to have enough time for celebratory
programs and activities.
