Carter Godwin Woodson Boeken
Deze baanbrekende historicus en auteur wijdde zijn leven aan het ontdekken en promoten van de cruciale rol van Afro-Amerikanen in de Amerikaanse en wereldgeschiedenis. Gedreven door de overtuiging dat hun verhalen werden genegeerd, richtte hij cruciale instellingen op voor de studie en publicatie van deze geschiedenis. Zijn werk leidde niet alleen tot academisch onderzoek, maar ook tot landelijke vieringen die evolueerden tot de moderne Black History Month. Hij wordt gekenmerkt door een meedogenloze zoektocht naar erkenning en een diepgaand begrip dat talloze latere wetenschappers heeft beïnvloed.
