Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic SIte
(District of Columbia)
This is one of the newest sites in the National Park
Service. Carter G. Woodson, who lived from 1875–
1950, was an African-American educator. Because
little had been done to preserve the history of the
African-American experience in America, he
undertook to publish books about it. From this
house, he directed the Association for the Study of
African-American Life and History and pursued his
own studies of African-American history. What is
now Black History Month began when Dr. Woodson
originated Negro History Week. The house, while a
unit of the National Park Service, is not yet open to
the public.
