Before Dr. Carter G. Woodson, there was very little accurate written history about the lives and experiences of Americans of African descent. His home, now a National Historic Site, served as the headquarters for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He established Negro History Week there in 1926, which is celebrated today as Black History Month.
