Carter G Woodson - The Creator Of Black History Month
Carter G. Woodson, the creator of Black History Month, was
a pioneering scholar and historian who dedicated his life
to promoting the study and recognition of African American
history and culture. Born in 1875 in Virginia to formerly
enslaved parents, Woodson overcame numerous obstacles to
pursue his education, eventually earning a Ph.D. from
Harvard University. In 1926, he established "Negro History
Week," which later evolved into Black History Month, to
highlight the contributions and achievements of African
Americans throughout history. Woodson's visionary efforts
continue to inspire generations to celebrate and honor the
diverse heritage of African Americans each February.
