From DMagic's link:

quote:

Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week".


quote:

This week was chosen because it marked the birthday of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.



quote:

Woodson created the holiday with the hope that it eventually be eliminated when black history became fundamental to American history.


ETA: Thanks GingerBro and Hahawg Learn something new every day.

I remember during elementary school we had one day during February where we learned about G.W. Carver and got to eat PBJ sammiches, boiled peanuts, and roasted peanuts for lunch. It was awesome.
