Historian, Scholar, Author, Publisher

 

I found another one of those "Black History" murals last week.  This one honors Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a man who was the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.  He was one of the first scholars to study the history of the African diaspora.  He has some very wise words to say on this mural.  Words we need to take heed of during these politically troubled times.

I just looked at a framed family history going back to 1612, I have friends who can't trace family beyond 1865.

Such important words for always but so relevant to today's political climate.

This made me wonder if author Jacqueline Woodson is related to Carter Woodson. AI tells me no, but who knows if it's correct!
