Beginning in the 1920s, scholars and activists like W.E.B.

WOODSON

WRITES

Dr. Woodson did not believe in “knowledge for its own sake.” History had to be shared—especially with the Black community across the nation, young and old. His scholarly association connected teachers, students, churches, businesses, philanthropists, and political leaders. And through his publishing company, he brought the work of Black writers to the world.

Through writing—books, newspaper articles, commentaries, and letters— Woodson challenged the myth that the Black race has no history. As a scientific scholar, he researched and documented neglected African American contributions and achievements. And as a publisher, he shared his knowledge with the world to inspire, enlighten, and empower.

“If the Negro is to settle down to publishing merely what others permit him to bring out, THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW

WHAT THE RACE HAS THOUGHT AND FELT AND

ATTEMPTED AND ACCOMPLISHED AND THE STORY

OF THE NEGRO WILL PERISH WITH HIM.”

DR. WOODSON, 1937

“If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, IT BECOMES A NEGLIGIBLE FACTOR IN THE

THOUGHT OF THE WORLD, AND IT STANDS IN

DANGER OF BEING EXTERMINATED."

DR. WOODSON, 1926

In 1915, Woodson co-founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History to promote, research, preserve, interpret, and share black life and history with the world. He ran the Association from the Office Home.

Now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the organization is headquartered in the Office Home once again.

T H E O F F I C E H O M E

“The first floor was given over to the mail-order work of the Association.

Woodson's office was on the second floor—and what an office! Papers and letters and galley proofs covered the desk.

BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE ACTUALLY NO DISORDER. THE

EDITOR PROBABLY DID MORE HIGH-GRADE WORK AT THAT

DESK THAN ANY EDITOR I KNOW. WOODSON LIVED, THAT IS,

SLEPT, ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE SMALL BUILDING."

LAWRENCE DUNBAR REDDICK,

HISTORIAN AND WOODSON MENTEE, 1953

Dr. Woodson purchased the house at 1538 Ninth Street in 1922. He lived and worked in his Office Home for the rest of his life.

The building was not only his modest home, it was headquarters of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and his company, the Associated Publishers, Inc. From the Office Home, the Association wrote The Journal of Negro History, The Negro History Bulletin, and initiated what we now celebrate as Black History Month. Woodson also made the home a “free reference bureau,” with research materials, a mentoring center, and a neighborhood museum open to all.

Here, Woodson and his colleagues built a black history movement.

First Floor

Visitors were greeted in a reception area. Staff worked on this floor, including packaging publications and educational materials for shipping.

Second Floor

Woodson studied and worked with colleagues on the second floor, where his library and personal office were located. Staff sometimes gathered in the home’s modest kitchen at the back to discuss work while Woodson fixed breakfast.

Third Floor

Woodson lived simply and used nearly the whole building for offices and book storage, including the basement. His bedroom and living room on the third floor were his only personal spaces, where few visitors were invited. Woodson passed away in his bedroom in 1950.

Now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the organization is headquartered in the Office Home once again.

T H E O F F I C E H O M E

“The first floor was given over to the mail-order work of the Association.

Woodson's office was on the second floor—and what an office! Papers and letters and galley proofs covered the desk.

BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE ACTUALLY NO DISORDER. THE

EDITOR PROBABLY DID MORE HIGH-GRADE WORK AT THAT

DESK THAN ANY EDITOR I KNOW. WOODSON LIVED, THAT IS,

SLEPT, ON THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE SMALL BUILDING."

LAWRENCE DUNBAR REDDICK,

HISTORIAN AND WOODSON MENTEE, 1953

Dr. Woodson purchased the house at 1538 Ninth Street in 1922. He lived and worked in his Office Home for the rest of his life.

The building was not only his modest home, it was headquarters of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and his company, the Associated Publishers, Inc. From the Office Home, the Association wrote The Journal of Negro History, The Negro History Bulletin, and initiated what we now celebrate as Black History Month. Woodson also made the home a “free reference bureau,” with research materials, a mentoring center, and a neighborhood museum open to all.

Here, Woodson and his colleagues built a black history movement.

First Floor

Visitors were greeted in a reception area. Staff worked on this floor, including packaging publications and educational materials for shipping.

Second Floor

Woodson studied and worked with colleagues on the second floor, where his library and personal office were located. Staff sometimes gathered in the home’s modest kitchen at the back to discuss work while Woodson fixed breakfast.

Third Floor

Woodson lived simply and used nearly the whole building for offices and book storage, including the basement. His bedroom and living room on the third floor were his only personal spaces, where few visitors were invited. Woodson passed away in his bedroom in 1950.

Woodson was a scientifi c scholar who researched and documented neglected A� ican American contributions and achievements. � rough writing—books, newspaper articles, commentaries, and letters—he challenged the myth that the black race has no history. As an author and publisher, he shared his knowledge with the world to inspire, enlighten, and empower.

WOODSON

WRITES

Woodson did not believe in “knowledge for its own sake.” History had to be shared—especially with the black community across the nation, young and old. His scholarly association connected teachers, students, churches, businesses, philanthropists, and political leaders. And through his publishing company, he brought the work of black writers to new audiences.
