Regarded as the father of black history, Carter G. Woodson was born in 1875 in New Canton, Va., and grew up having no access to school. He didn't begin his formal education until he was 20.
Woodson completed high school in Berea, Ky., and then earned his bachelor's degree at Berea College. He worked abroad for the U.S. War Department and earned his master's degree at the University of Chicago.
He earned a doctorate at Harvard University, becoming the second African American to do so ---following W.E.B. DuBois, according to the National Park Service. The park service owns the house, now a national historic site, where Woodson lived and worked in Washington, D.C.
Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro (now African American) Life and History in 1915. On New Year's Day 1916, he started "The Journal of Negro (now African American) History."
Woodson introduced Negro History Week in 1926. The observance was expanded to Black History Month in 1976, a quarter century after Woodson died.
