Posted by fedge OK, why not WHITE History Month? And don't just say White History Month is March through January...

Well, it's kind of true, isn't it? I mean, the only significant Black that school kids are taught about is Martin Luther King.
Whites have the vast majority of historical figures. President's day is pretty much a white history day, at least until we have a black president (Go Obama).
Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, Rosa Parks, and Langston Hughes -- I'd say they deserve at least one month out of the year, wouldn't you? Most school kids know about Christopher Columbus and George Washington and Abe Lincoln, but they can't bring up a list of a good half dozen black leaders.
