Carter G. Woodson

Carter Godwin Woodson, the so-called 'Father of Black History,' and founder of Black History Month: "Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history." Dr. Woodson, author of the classic "The Mis-Education of the Negro," would probably be the first to say that the study of one's history is really a year-round pursuit. This one month every February really just serves as reminder that there's a lot of work to do, and as inspiration that great people have cracked glass ceilings and opened doors through which we pass today.
