Carter G. Woodson in Washington, D.C.: The Father of Black History (American Heritage)

This book was received well before the expected due date and in the best of shape. It is like a brand new book and I am very happy with this purchase, thank you!

My son needed the book for a project our local library didn’t have. This worked for us. Was informative, easy to read and understand.

An outstanding discussion of Dr. Carter G. Woodson's life in Washington, D.C. As a member of the Association for the Study of African American Life & History, Inc. ( ASALH) , the organization Dr. Woodson founded I am always eager to learn more about his life and accomplishments. Another treasure to add to my collection. I look forward to the opening of Dr. Woodson's home as a National Park Service National Historic Site.

This book was wonderful. I am a big fan of Dr. Woodson and was interested in learning more about his life and the dynamics of the institutions he developed. It not only documents Dr. Woodson's time in Washington, this book provides wonderful perspectives of the man by the people who worked with him. It contains several anecdotes that provide insight into his personality and motivations. Through this book we see his humanity.

An excellent reference on the life of Dr. Woodson.

This was one of the most well researched books on the Father of Black History! Excellent work!

Comprehensive documentation of Woodson's life, his organization, and the house that hiused both dr. Carter and his organization.At times repetitive, and more detailed than I wanted (the size of the sign outside the building), and, like every other biography of Woodson I have read, lacking in details of his time in the Philippines.That said, it's an engaging read about a remarkable man, maintaining a good balance between scholarly details and a bio for the general public.I would use this with a teen for a schoolread, although I would only require the first half or so, which is about Woodson the man.While there is still material about Woodson himself, in the latter half the writer turns more to the history of the hiuse and organization.

Is black history so minuscule that one person can be attributed as being the father? The history of Africans in America predates C.G. Woodson by hundreds of years as one examines the recorded history of the Olmecs in Mexico. This book is an insult to those who truly want to learn about the history of the Negro in America(s).
