Carter G. Woodson

Woodson would later promote the first Negro History Week

Jul, 1926
Washington D.C., U.S.

Woodson believed that education and increasing social and professional contacts among blacks and whites could reduce racism and he promoted the organized study of African-American history partly for that purpose. He would later promote the first Negro History Week in Washington, D.C., in 1926, forerunner of Black History Month.
