Carter G Woodson- pioneered Negro History Week! His efforts and call for the deepen study of African American history was met with great response and caught on quickly! All across the country people shared and study the history before them and it became an annual celebration!

I encouraged you to Read the incredible article where I found this information that prompted my share m.
