February was chosen to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two figures who played significant roles in the fight against slavery and the advancement of African American freedom.​

Black History Month began as Negro History Week in 1926, created by historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson to promote the study of Black history year-round. ​​

Black History Month was officially recognized at the federal level in 1976, when President Gerald Ford called on Americans to fully acknowledge the contributions and achievements of African Americans in U.S. history.
