MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO—COURTESY NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
“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 Baltimore Afro-American, 1930
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, too.
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.”
The Father of Black History
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior
Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site
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.

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 Associationfor 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.
“The collection of sociological and historical data on the Negro, the study of peoples of African blood, the publishing of books in this field, and the promotion of harmony between the races by acquainting the one with the other.”

Contrast is a measure of the dif-ference in perceived “luminance” or brightness between two colors. This brightness difference is expressed as a ratio ranging from 1:1 (e.g. white text on a white background) to 21:1 (e.g., black text on a white back-ground).
The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, except for the fol-lowing:
Large Text: Large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1.
All type used in the exhibit qualifies as “large text” since it is over 18pt, with the exception of the caption credits (12pt) which are kept within the 40” - 60” range.

DR. ALBERT N.D. BROOKS
DR. ALBERT N. D. BROOKS, who held two degrees from Howard University and a Doctorate from Lincoln University, began as a teacher in DC schools and rose to become principal of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. He gave Woodson the idea for a publication that appealed to a general audience:
The Negro History Bulletin. He became its first editor in 1937 and was Secretary-Treasurer of the ASNLH from 1951-1964. A close colleague of Woodson’s, Brooks was among those who took up leadership of the Association after Woodson’s death, expanding membership and activities while simultaneously managing financial challenges.
“THIS IS A MOVEMENT FOR EQUITY,
INCLUSION, AND THE UPLIFTING
OF BLACK STUDENTS.”
BLACK LIVES M ATTER AT SCHOOL, 2020
“It was the direction of the Board of Education of the State of Louisiana, which was all white, that every teacher have a written outline, and that outline should be displayed openly. [My teacher, Ms. McGee] had her outline as directed, but she also had a copy of Carter G. Woodson’s The Negro in Our History, and she had that in her lap, and she read to us from that book.
When the principal would come in, she would just simply lift her eyes to the outline that resided on her desk and teach us from the outline. When the principal disappeared, her eyes went back to the book in her lap.”
REVEREND JERRY MOORE, 2008
“IF A RACE HAS NO HISTORY, IF IT HAS NO WORTH-WHILE
TRADITION, IT BECOMES A NEGLIGIBLE FACTOR IN THE
THOUGHT OF THE WORLD, AND IT STANDS IN DANGER OF BEING
EXTERMINATED…. LET TRUTH DESTROY THE DIVIDING PREJUDICES
OF NATIONALITY AND TEACH UNIVERSAL LOVE WITHOUT
DISTINCTION OF RACE, MERIT OR RANK.”
CARTER WOODSON
“We do not have to ask for the fictionist, the poet and the builders of dreams to create [Dr. Woodson’s] greatness. He has been a builder of his own monument . . .
FOR HE WAS A DISCOVERER OF
TRUTH, AN ORG ANIZER OF TRUTH,
A CONTRIBUTOR TO TRUTH AND
A FIGHTER FOR TRUTH.”
DR. CHARLES WESLEY, 1950

The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861 Carter G. W oodson
This study of Black education before the Civil War was Woodson’s first book. It was hailed as “a chapter in a history that has yet to be written.” W.E.B. DuBois called it “the most significant book concerning the Negro race” published that year.
Researching material, Woodson found that “the accounts of the successful strivings of Negroes for enlightenment under most adverse circumstances read like beautiful romances of a people in an heroic age.” For the rest of his career, he worked to help the Black community in its striving.

STRUGGLE
FOR LIGHT
W oodson was born into a rural family of eleven. His parents, once enslaved, gave him a strong character, self-respect, and a thirst for education.
His family had little money, and Woodson worked to help them survive.
Hard labor gave him respect for the working class and persistence. Even as a scholar he reminded others, “I am a coal miner and I can take almost anything.” Early struggles gave Woodson the strength to take on his life’s work.
A WORKING
EDUCATION
Long workdays kept Woodson from the classroom. Instead, he learned from his schoolteacher uncles and listened to his parents’ account of slavery. He taught himself English and math and shared knowledge back to his family.
At 17, Woodson became a coalminer to fund his education. He met Civil War veterans in the mines whose stories seeded his love of history. By 19, he earned enough to enroll in high school. Studying between shifts, he finished in two years.
He never forgot what he learned from “regular people” and made it his mission to share their achievements with the world.
