He started “Negro History Week” which was first celebrated in the event of both the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas and then branched out into the entire month of February. Woodson was a student at Harvard University and, in 1912, became the first person of enslaved parents to receive a Ph.D from that particular elite Ivy League school. During a lecture, one of his white professors, Edward Channing, had stated that “The Negro had no history.” Upon hearing this, Woodson was inspired to do something about it.
