North face Intro
87/12.3 The Father of Black History Carter G. Woodson began life as a farm worker and coal miner. He didn’t start high school until age 19, but by his death in 1950, Woodson had seven degrees—including a PhD in history from Harvard University. Tireless and driven, he directed a national scholarly association, founded today’s Black History Month, and ran his own publishing company.
He believed knowing one’s history was key to self-respect and pride. As a “scientific scholar,” Woodson researched neglected Black achievements and challenged myths about people of African descent. His friend Mary McLeod Bethune memorialized Woodson, saying, “With the power of cumulative fact, he moved back the barriers and broadened our vision of the world, and the world’s vision of us.” [footnoteRef:18] [18: Qtd in Lerone Bennett Jr., “Chronicles of Black History,” Ebony, February 1983, pg 34]

| “Dr. Woodson has worked without ceasing.... He has brought a new light to those who sat in darkness.... He has made it possible for a race to face the future with greater hope because he has taken the cover off the past.” |

| The Mis-Education of the Negro, 1933 |
Woodson’s most famous book took aim at the education system’s failures, including some elite Black educators. He argued that Black students were taught to look down on themselves, saying, “When you control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions.” Woodson believed radical change to the education system could uplift the community.

South face Intro
A Home for Black History In 1922, scholar Carter G. Woodson chose 1538 Ninth Street NW as his home and headquarters. The “Office Home” became a fixture in Shaw, a thriving Black neighborhood.
From this rowhouse, Woodson directed the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History—the premier scholarly organization of its kind. In 1926, Woodson and the Association created the celebration we know today as Black History Month. The busy Office Home also housed Woodson’s Associated Publishers, Inc., a community-supported company that printed Black authors’ works when white publishers would not.
The Office Home was a “free reference bureau” for anyone interested in history, a mentoring center and gathering place, and the epicenter of the early Black history movement.
