- Summary:
- "A history of Carter G. Woodson, his work and life in Washington, DC"-- Provided by publisher.
- "The discipline of Black history has its roots firmly planted at 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C. The Victorian row house in 'Black Broadway' was once the modest office-home of Carter G. Woodson. The home was also the headquarters of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). Woodson dedicated his entire life to sustaining the early Black history mass education movement. He contributed immensely not just to African American history but also to American culture. Scholar Pero Gaglo Dagbovie unravels Woodson's intricate personality and traces his relationship to his home, the Shaw neighborhood and the District of Columbia"-- Provided by publisher.
