Carter G. Woodson: The Father of Black History

By LeRoy H Carter Jr

The significance of Black history cannot be overstated; it is woven into the very fabric of the nation's rich tapestry. Yet, throughout history, there have been efforts to whitewash and neglect the contributions of Black Americans and other minority groups. Such attempts to erase their stories not only diminish the reality of America's past but also rob future generations of the knowledge they need to understand the nation's complexities. Carter G. Woodson's legacy serves as a reminder that knowledge is power, and all minorities must take an active role in celebrating their histories. Songs like Lift Every Voice and Sing, penned by James Weldon Johnson, echo this sentiment, offering inspiration and a sense of unity. They remind individuals of the strength found in their cultural heritage. Embracing one's history is not just an act of pride; it is a call for acknowledgment, respect, and recognition that the contributions of Black Americans and all minorities are vital in shaping a truly inclusive American narrative.
