Woodson completed his PhD in history at Harvard University
Time: 1912
Place: Harvard University, Massachusetts, U.S.
Details: Woodson completed his PhD in history at Harvard University in 1912, where he was the second African American (after W. E. B. Du Bois) to earn a doctorate. His doctoral dissertation, The Disruption of Virginia, was based on research he did at the Library of Congress while teaching high school in Washington, D.C. After earning the doctoral degree, he continued teaching in public schools, as no university was willing to hire him, ultimately becoming the principal of the all-black Armstrong Manual Training School in Washington D.C.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
