Black History- Carter G. Woodson

The founder of Black History month was a Harvard PhD named Carter G. Woodson. In 1926 Dr. Woodson began Black History Week. Around the corner from where I live is Dr. Woodson's home which is run by the National Park Service. It is in an unfortunate state surrounded by abandoned buildings and itself abandoned save for a few signs one of which reads "no trespassing."
