Ovasi Views:It's February and Black History Month

There's three man-made holidays we could really do without and since we have sprung into February, let's start with Black History Month. The Father of Black History, Carter G. Woodson, first came up with the idea of Black History Month back in 1926. But at the time, it was introduced as Negro History Week and was the second week of February.
