Carter Godwin Woodson (father of black history)

Carter Godwin Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950) was an African-American historian, author, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Woodson was one of the first scholars to study African-American history. A founder of Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson has been cited as the father of black history.

In 1926, Woodson pioneered the celebration of "Negro History Week", designated for the second week in February, to coincide with marking the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. [12] The week of recognition became accepted and has been extended as the full month of February, now known as Black History Month.

With all of the baby showers, birthdays, and engagements I bet you find yourself stressing about money, it seems like there a event every week!!!!!!
