Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1925 to “raise awareness of African American’s contributions to civilization.” He then announced Negro History Week, which saw its first celebration in February 1926. Woodson chose February since it is the birth month of both 16th U.S. president Abraham Lincoln and social reformer Frederick Douglass. In 1975, President Ford officially proclaimed Negro History Week a national holiday, encouraging people to “recognize the important contribution made to our nation’s life and culture by Black citizens.”
