And I remember this mostly because my baby brother (now 43) was born on Feb 22 too.
The two were celebrated separately until Congress voted to make Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday. Then the two were combined into President's Day in order to make room on the calender for Dr. King.
