I for one had no idea February was black history month. According to Wikipedia apparently that is the case for both Canada and the US -- perhaps it's more "celebrated" in the US because of the demographics?

I'll suggest that black rights leaders couldn't care less who is pictured for the month of February on a football calendar -- just another thing that the NFL media over-scrutinizes to death (shocking, I know).
