Carter G. Woodson’s Washington, D.C., rowhouse in the Shaw neighborhood was both his home from 1922 to 1950 and a major center of African American historical scholarship. There Woodson, founder of Black History Month, ran the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, published research and writing, and helped produce the Negro History Bulletin and the Journal of Negro History. The house also hosted annual association meetings and remained the organization’s national headquarters into the early 1970s. Later recognized as a National Historic Landmark, it was preserved after a period of decline and ultimately established as a national historic site.
