Carter G. Woodson
Black History Month was founded by Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week in 1926. The month of February was selected to honor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln who were born that month. Quote: “If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.”
