On February 7, 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week, marking a significant milestone in the recognition of African-American history. Revered as "The Father of Black History," Woodson designated the second week of February for this observance. In 1976, Negro History Week was expanded to encompass the entire month of February, becoming Black History Month.  Born to formerly enslaved parents, Woodson earned a PhD from Harvard University. He specifically chose the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist Frederick Douglass (Feb. 14) and President Abraham Lincoln.  In 1933, Woodson wrote in "The Mis-Education of the Negro": "History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government; those who have not learned to do for themselves and rely solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning."

Carter Godwin Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950)[1] was an American historian, author, journalist, and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). He was one of the first scholars to study the history of the African diaspora, including African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson has been called the "father of black history".[2] In February 1926 he launched the celebration of "Negro History Week", the precursor of Black History Month.[3] Woodson was an important figure to the movement of Afrocentrism,[4] due to his perspective of placing people of African descent at the center of the study of history and the human experience.[5] Born in Virginia, the son of former slaves, Woodson had to put off schooling while he worked in the coal mines of West Virginia. He graduated from Berea College, and became a teacher and school administrator. He gained graduate degrees at the University of Chicago and in 1912 was the second African American, after W. E. B. Du Bois, to obtain a PhD degree from Harvard University. Woodson remains the only person whose parents were enslaved in the United States to obtain a History PhD.[6] He taught at historically black colleges Howard University and West Virginia State University but spent most his career in Washington, DC managing the ASALH, public speaking, writing, and publishing. _ wikipedia source

This this is a preview of episode 80 of the Making After School Cool podcast which focuses on Black History Month and the children's book Black Wall Street: The Spirit of Community. The history of Black History month began in 1926, when historian Carter G. Woodson sponsored a national Negro History week, which took place during the second week of February, in honor of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas's birthdays. In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month because he believed, Black History informs all US Citizens of the often-neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our country's history. To discuss the importance of Black History month and to spotlight an event that impacted American history is my guest Laquitta Barnes. Ms. Barnes is an educator, and real estate investor from Houston, Texas. She is also the proud author of Black Wall Street: The Spirit of Community.

EPISODE #147 – This WONDERFUL BLACK HISTORY WEDNESDAY, we talk about BLACK HISTORY MONTH.  Today we focus on the basics such as themes, questions about general small facts.  Famous quotes from famous people.  Starting next week, we'll focus on people then and now and how we contribute to America and the world. WHY DOES BLACK HISTORY MONTH EXIST? The answer lies with eminent American historian Carter G. Woodson (called the father of black history), who pioneered the field of African American studies in the early 20th century. Inspired by having attended a three-week national celebration of the 50th anniversary of emancipation in 1915, Woodson joined four others in founding the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) to encourage scholars to engage in the intensive study of the Black past, a subject that had long been sorely neglected by academia and in U.S. schools. In 1916 Woodson began editing the association's principal scholarly publication, The Journal of Negro History. In 1924, spurred on by Woodson, his college fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, introduced Negro History and Literature Week. Two years later, determined to bring greater attention to African American history, Woodson and the ASNLH launched Negro History Week in February 1926. WHY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY? February is the birth month of two figures who loom large in the Black past: U.S. President Abraham Lincoln (born February 12), who issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and African American abolitionist, author, and orator Frederick Douglass (born February 14). Since the deaths of Lincoln and Douglass (in 1865 and 1895, respectively), the Black community had celebrated their contributions to African American liberation and civil rights on their birthdays. By rooting Negro History Week in February, Woodson sought to both honor the inestimable legacy of Lincoln and Douglass and to expand an already existent celebration of the Black past to include not only the accomplishments of these two great individuals but also the history and achievements of Black people in general.

Carter G. Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950) The son of an enslaved African, Carter G. Woodson was born in New Canton, Virginia is the reason for Black History Month. His father helped Union soldiers during the Civil War, and moved his family to West Virginia when he heard that Huntington was building a high school for blacks. Coming from a large, poor family, Carter could not regularly attend school. Through self-instruction, Woodson mastered the fundamentals of common school subjects by age 17. He began high school at the age of 20 and he received his diploma in less than two years. He then proceeded to study at Berea College, the University of Chicago, the Sorbonne, and Harvard University, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1912. He recognized and acted upon the importance of a people having an awareness and knowledge of their contributions to humanity. Dr. Woodson is known as the Father of Black History. Carter G Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 to train Black historians and to collect, preserve, and publish documents on Black life and Black people. He also founded the Journal of Negro History (1916). He spent his life working to educate all people about the vast contributions made by Black men and women throughout history. After earning a doctoral degree, he continued teaching in the public schools, later joining the faculty at Howard University as a professor and served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. After leaving Howard University because of differences with its president, Dr. Woodson devoted the rest of his life to historical research. He worked to preserve the history of African Americans and accumulated a collection of thousands of artifacts and publications. He noted that African American contributions "were overlooked, ignored, and even suppressed by the writers of history textbooks and the teachers who use them." He concluded that the history books were written to conclude that the Negro has never contributed anything to the progress of mankind. In 1926, Woodson single-handedly pioneered the celebration of "Negro History Week", for the second week in February, to coincide with marking the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The week was later extended to the full month of February and renamed Black History Month as we know it today. At the time Carter G. Woodson argued that the teaching of black history was essential to ensure the physical and intellectual survival of the race within broader society. "If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The American Indian left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. In spite of worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization" --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unlabeled/support

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history. The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by Black Americans and other peoples of African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

The Marion Thompson Wright Reader, edited by Graham Russell Gao Hodges, the George Dorland Langdon, Jr. Professor of History and Africana and Latin American Studies at Colgate University, and the author of Black New Jersey: 1664 to the Present Day (Rutgers University Press, 2019), is the first book-length text on Marion Thompson Wright—the first African American woman to earn a PhD in history from a U.S. college or university. This Reader includes a seventy plus page biographical essay on Wright, a reviews and notes section, essays and Wright's The Education of Negroes in New Jersey first published by Columbia University Press in 1941. Hodges utilizes a set of letters written by Wright to friends and family members as well as never published before images of Dr. Wright with family members; including photos of her children. There exists no more comprehensive a text on Wright in terms of the bibliographic sketch contained in this book and coupled with the writings of one of the foremost historians of the early twentieth century: Marion Thompson Wright. Wright was a prolific writer and scholar. Her dissertation advisor was famed historian Merle Curti with whom she kept up a life-long correspondence. She published widely in the Journal of Negro Education and the Journal of Negro History (now the Journal of African American History) as evidenced with some of the essays in this Reader and was respected as a leading scholar of the history of African Americans and segregation in the public school system—the subject of her dissertation at Columbia. In his autobiographical sketch of Wright, Hodges does not shy away from the more personal aspects of her life including the fact that she lost custody of her children to her first husband after she chose to pursue her academic career and the fact that she suffered from depression, and eventually ended her own life. This book is a powerful and necessary text in the field of Black women's intellectual history given Wright's monumental impact on social work, historical studies, education and higher education counseling.

Paris' lifelong search for her family's genealogical records leads her to investigate the reason they are missing: the lynching of a 41-year-old African American man named George Hughes in 1930. Accused of assaulting a white woman in Sherman, located within Grayson County, Texas, George never gets his day in court. Instead, locals burn down the courthouse with Hughes trapped inside and later carry out a postmortem lynching. Special guest Melissa Thiel, a public historian and a native of Grayson County, joins Paris later in the episode to discuss her efforts in getting an historical marker placed at the county courthouse to memorialize this significant crime and to discuss artifacts from this case that she's uncovered in her own research. This episode provides little-known background information on George Hughes, his accusers, and the town of Sherman during the Jim Crow era. Please sign Melissa Thiel's historical marker petition at shermanriot.org and visit the Historical Marker for the 1930 Sherman Riot Facebook group for updates and more information about this true crime.If you like this episode, please subscribe, rate us with 5 stars on iTunes or your favorite podcatcher, and consider supporting this one-woman show at Patreon.

  Alexis Charles Henri Maurice Clérel, Comte de Tocqueville was born in 1805 into the French nobility and a family estate in Normandy. He died in 1859. His wider family was part of the conservative reaction to the changes brought about by the French Revolution in 1789, but Tocqueville, himself, looked forward. He participated in public office, initially as a magistrate and subsequently as a deputy of the Constituent Assembly, rising briefly to Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1849. He travelled to the United States between May 1831and February 1832 with his friend Gustave Beaumont, ostensibly to study penal institutions, but instead published a two-volume study of Democracy in America. Throughout his life, he commented on contemporary politics and public affairs, including France's occupation of Algeria. The politics of the period were frequently in turmoil and this instability was a motivating concern of Tocqueville in his search for the conditions of a more stable order.

In 1844 New Orleans was riveted by a dramatic trial: A slave claimed that she was really a free immigrant who had been pressed into bondage as a young girl. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Sally Miller's fight for freedom, which challenged notions of race and social hierarchy in antebellum Louisiana. We'll also try to pronounce some drug names and puzzle over some cheated tram drivers. Intro: In 1992, a Florida bankruptcy judge held a computer in contempt of court. The 1908 grave of Vermont atheist George P. Spencer is inscribed with his credo.

I hope that you enjoy this podcast. This podcast addresses briefly, the history of American racism. Given how broad that subject is, even with this being a longer podcast, I was not able to cover as much as I would like. I like to call this a narrative history as it tells the story of racism in America and how it has benefited whiteness. This is Part2 of the 5 part series on Antiracism.

   Episode 24 of Destination Freedom Black Radio Days Podcast a copyrighted series of No Credits Productions LLC.  Recorder of History Carter G. Woodson Carter Godwin Woodson was an American historian, author, journalist, and 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, including African-American history. A founder of The Journal of Negro History in 1916, Woodson called the "father of black history". In February 1926 he launched the celebration of "Negro History Week" the precursor of Black History Month

The History of Black History MonthOrigins: Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history. The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by Black Americans and other peoples of African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures. In the decades that followed, mayors of cities across the country began issuing yearly proclamations recognizing Negro History Week. By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the civil rights movementand a growing awareness of Black identity, Negro History Week had evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”Let's Dig DeeperThe story of Black History Month begins in Chicago during the summer of 1915. An alumnus of the University of Chicago with many friends in the city, Carter G. Woodson traveled from Washington, D.C. to participate in a national celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation sponsored by the state of Illinois. Thousands of African Americans travelled from across the country to see exhibits highlighting the progress their people had made since the destruction of slavery. Awarded a doctorate in Harvard three years earlier, Woodson joined the other exhibitors with a black history display. Despite being held at the Coliseum, the site of the 1912 Republican convention, an overflow crowd of six to twelve thousand waited outside for their turn to view the exhibits. Inspired by the three-week celebration, Woodson decided to form an organization to promote the scientific study of black life and history before leaving town. On September 9th, Woodson met at the Wabash YMCA with A. L. Jackson and three others and formed the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH).

This month, February of 2021, is a very special month for many different communities, February is officially designated as "Black History Month" - an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans, and for recognizing their central role in U.S. History. Originally this special time of year was sponsored by the Association for Study of African American Life and History, as the national Negro History week, chosen in February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln & Fredrick Douglass. In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month, calling upon the public to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history”. Since 1976, every American president has followed the February designation of Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The theme for 2021, "Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity".In honor of Black History Month, the content of this podcast through February, will focus on black leadership in technology, and will give more attention to voices that are very seldom elevated.--------------------------------Joseph Akoni is a Product Manager at LinkedIn, and joins this LIVE recording of the Data Binge Podcast to discuss how different cultures and communities develop and consume technology.

What is Black history month, and why do we celebrate it? Also known as African-American History Month, its an observance originating in the United States. Created in 1926, the idea of Negro History week, was observed during the second week of February. The reason to choose the second week, because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on Feb 12th and of Fredrick Douglas on February 20th. Black History Month was first proposed by black educators and the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. The first celebration of Black History Month took place at Kent State one year later, from January 2 to February 28, 1970.When first established, Black History Month resulted in some controversy. Those who believed that Black History Month was limited to educational institutions questioned whether it was appropriate to confine the celebration of Black history to one month, as opposed to integration of black history into the mainstream education the rest of the year.Edited: Western Europeans*Reference: Derrick Bell, "Brown v.

In the 1920s, the infancy of aviation, pilots took to the skies to shock and awe their audiences with death dives, barrel-roles, and wing-walking. Within these flying circuses, one performer truly stood out: the Bird Woman, Bessie Coleman. Born to a family of sharecroppers in Texas, Coleman knew that to live her dreams, she'd need to leave the US and its prejudiced segregationist policies and move to France. Here, a place where women were truly excelling at the new art of flying, she grew her own wings and became the first Black woman in history to earn her pilot's licence. At home, she quickly became a sensation, performing daring feats of high-flying acrobatics in her old war-time Jenny. But she was a performer as much on ground as she was in the air, and she wasn't afraid to self-aggrandise, particularly in the effort to increase Black participation in aviation. As flying became a symbol of her own political empowerment, Coleman soon dreamed of establishing a flying school of her own and opening the skies to those who'd been denied such freedoms.So put on your goggles, fire up an old biplane, and take to the skies with us as we explore the daring life of Bessie Coleman.

Well here is my first podcast that I've ever recorded in the United States. It was good to be amongst family for this one and it was good to be back after taking two weeks off to ensure my transition from Bahrain to the States went well and to give the family back in VA a little time so we could all catch up. This seemed like the perfect time to come back especially regarding where we visited and where the podcast was recorded. Enjoy the history, nonsense and poor sound quality ( I left the mic in the car) on this spur of the moment podcast Where I take you on my journey through Washington, D.C.'s Negro History Museum.

Listen to the Sat. Feb. 3, 2018 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This program will begin our monthlong commemoration of African American History. The holiday grew out of the work of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (1915), the Journal of Negro History (1916) and Negro History Week (1926). Some fifty years later in 1976, the federal government declared the month of February as Black History Month. In this episode we will focus on the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz), two luminaries of the liberation struggle which emerged during the mid-20th century.

The further decline of the negro...

Dr. Carter G. Woodson was born in Buckingham County, Virginia on Dec. 19, 1875, to former slaves, James & Eliza Riddle Woodson. His father helped Union soldiers during the Civil War & moved his family to West Virginia when he heard that Huntington was building a high school for Blacks. From a large, poor family, Dr. Woodson could not regularly attend school. Through self-instruction, he mastered the fundamentals of common school subjects by age 17. Wanting more education, he went to Fayette County to earn a living as a miner in the coal fields. He was able to devote only a few months each year to his schooling. In 1895, at the age of 20, Dr. Woodson entered Douglass High School, where he received his diploma in less than 2 years. From 1897 to 1900, Dr. Woodson taught at Winona in Fayette County. In 1900 he was selected as the principal of Douglass High School. He earned his Bachelor of Literature degree from Berea College in Kentucky in 1903 by taking classes part-time between 1901 &  1903. Convinced the role of African American history & the history of other cultures was being ignored or misrepresented among scholars, Dr. Woodson saw a need for research into the neglected past of African Americans. Along with Alexander L. Jackson, Dr. Woodson published The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861 in 1915. He followed this book with The Mis-Education of the Negro in 1933. The Bronzeville neighborhood inspired him to create the Assn. for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915. Now known as the Assn. for the Study of African American Life and History, it ran conferences, published The Journal of Negro History, and "particularly targeted those responsible for the education of black children".

Carter Godwin Woodson (Dec. 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 The Journal of Negro History in 1915, Woodson has been cited as the father of black history. In Feb. 1926 he announced the celebration of "Negro History Week", considered the precursor of Black History Month.

Yesterday, I introduced Black History Month.  I discussed what this month is and means and all the ways great and small that people can celebrate this great month.  I also noted that everyone is invited to participate in Black History Month. It’s not just for African Americans (or even just for Black peopld worldwide) but also for all cultures and ethnicities, genders, ages, and interests.   Today, I will discuss the person who initiated or founded Black History month.   Have you heard of Dr. Carter G. Woodson?  Listen and prepare to be impressed!   Carter G. Woodson was born in Virginia in 1875,  the son of former slaves. As the eldest son of nine children, he helped to support the family by working as a sharecropper and a miner. But he was always an avid reader and interested student.  He graduated from Douglass High School, the University of Chicago, and, in 1912, became the second African American to receive a doctorate from Harvard University. (W.E.B. Dubois was the first.)   Throughout his studies, he noticed that the contributions of African Americans were never discussed or taught in school. African American history was either missing or misrepresented in the educational systems throughout the United States--both in the northern and southern states.  He was determined to change this problem.   In 1915, he founded the Association for Negro Life, which later became the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. This organization was—and still is--dedicated to ensuring that Black history was taught in school and studied by scholars. Perhaps many of us don’t understand or remember when Black history was not taught in schools or when the accomplishments and contributions of African Americans were not presented or acknowledged.  It was not that long ago.   Personally, I remember that throughout elementary school in the 1970s, we used a 500-page textbook for American history. In all those 500 pages, there was a single paragraph that mentioned African Americans. It mentioned slavery and how Blacks were brought to the United States as slaves then continued to say that President Lincoln freed the slaves!  We know that slavery was one part of African American history but there is so much more and it’s essential that this information become part of the standard education and to be treated as a scholarly pursuit.   In 1926, Dr. Woodson founded Negro History week, which was the second week of February. (Yes, it started as only a week.) Dr. Woodson chose the second week of February because it coincided with the birthdays of the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. He envisioned this week as a time for Blacks to learn about their history and culture.   In addition to teaching, Dr. Woodson wrote more than a dozen books, including the iconic and influential Mis-education of the Negro in 1933. This book, which is still required reading in some universities, discussed the western indoctrination of the educational system and the means of self-empowerment for African Americans. It is an incredible book that remains relevant today.  You can find this book, The Mis-education of the Negro, in the bookstore at robinlofton.com.  He also wrote numerous works of literature to teach African American history to elementary and secondary school students.   His continuous commitment to teaching and legitimizing Ahistory and culture in the United States have made these subjects essential parts of educational curricula throughout the country. For this reason, he is known as the father of Black History. He has definitely earned that distinguished title. I’m grateful for his hard work and vision.   Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration that comes from teaching of biography and history. ~ Dr. Carter G. Woodson   Dr. Woodson died in 1950. In 1976, Negro History Week became Black History Month as African Americans started to embrace their culture and history.   This was the short story of Dr. Carter G. Woodson.  He also wrote the Negro National Anthem, which is a powerful and vivid reminder of how much progress African Americans have made in the United States.  It’s called Lift E’vry Voice and Sing! and is one of the most moving and uplifting songs that I’ve ever heard.   Well, that’s all for today’s podcast. Next time, we will ask:   Do we still need Black History Month?   In this podcast, we learned that Dr. Carter G. Woodson initiated Black History month to encourage people to learn about Black history and to support scholarly examination. Both are good reasons. But remember he founded Black History month in 1926. That’s a long time ago. Do we still need it today?   So, I hope that you enjoyed this podcast about Dr. Woodson.  I really enjoyed researching it and presenting it to you. I hope that you will take it further than I have. Please remember to visit robinlofton.com.  I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about Black History Month and what you are doing to celebrate this exciting month. As I said, one thing that I’m doing is making food from my heritage every day this month. Yesterday, I made Jollof Rice, which is a dish from Gambia. Today, I made fried plantains. I have posted pictures of these dishes on my facebook page at Robin Lofton and Remembering History. I have also tweeted them. You can follow Waikoloarobin (spell it) to see these dishes every day.   Finally, I want to remind you that for every one who listens to this podcast and every podcast this month, I will donate $1 to Blackpast.org, which is an online encyclopedia of African American history. It is a great resource so I hope that you also visit it and contribute to it. Remember, Blackpast.org. And don’t forget robinlofton.com. We are a great community here and everyone is welcome. Every day.   See you next time at robinlofton.com where we remember history and we make it!
