Carter Godwin Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950) was an American historian, author, journalist, and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He was one of the first scholars to study the history of the African diaspora, including African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson has been called the "father of black history". In February 1926 he launched the celebration of "Negro History Week", the precursor of Black History Month. I declare black history every day to learn about your powers for freedom in this country.

Mr. Robert Powell, No one here ever made the claim of Most Africans and African Americans 2022 I 'am talking about a man who lived between (1875–1950) during that time the African Americans was called Negro and you know that to be a fact. Did you know that In 1933, American historian and educator Carter Woodson (1875-1950) delivered a powerful and prophetic denouncement of `Euro-centric`school curricula that still rings true. That sounds like something you would say but Carter G. Woodson did in his life.
