From the Desk of Judi!This week's topic is: BLACK HISTORY MONTH In 1915, historian Carter G. Woodson proposed a "Negro
History Week" to honor the history and contributions of African-Americans.
Nine years later, his dream became reality. Woodson chose the second week
of February to pay tribute to the birthdays of two Americans that dramatically
affected the lives of Blacks: Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and Frederick
Douglass (February 14). The week-long observance officially became Black
History Month in 1976. Some sites of interest:
