Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass. Throughout history, many important events in Black history have occurred in February. It was chosen as the month to celebrate Black History Month because the Black abolitionist and writer Frederick Douglass chose to celebrate his birthday this month. As Ibram X. Kendi writes, “like many Black people born into slavery, Frederick Douglass did not know his birthday” but he “chose February 14 because of a tender memory he had of his mother, Harriet Bailey, which was also the last memory he had of her.”
