He figured since Frederick Douglas  and President Lincolns  birthday were both in the month why not dedicate an entire month to the history of Negroes.  "If you start from slavery , everything from that point seems like a accomplishment"-Carter G Woodson  This entire theory of having one particular month set aside to discuss the history of Negroes is a very touchy issue.
