February is the month of love. Romance is in the air and couples all over are planning how to celebrate the upcoming weekend. However, students also must remember that February is the month of celebration of Black History for Canada and the United States. The remembrance was founded in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson and was chosen in February because it marked the birthdays of two people who greatly influenced the lives and social conditions of African American: former slave and abolitionist Fredrick Douglas and former President Abraham Lincoln.
