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

Dr. Carter G. Woodson started it in 1926 as Negro History Week, choosing the second week of February because it marks the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who greatly influenced black Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.
