How Carter G. Woodson, the father of black history, is teaching us still

2. I am so glad it is being restored.

Sad that it was left this long. America abandons our heritage if it is non white. It is a start, the Confederate memorials are coming down, perhaps we are starting to learn. I sure hope so.

As the president of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History wrote in a letter to The Post in the summer, Woodson’s D.C. home was among 30 memorials honoring the African American experience that were “subject to the ravages of deferred maintenance.” (That letter championed the bipartisan National Park Service Act to secure repair funding.)

It's like Rosa Parks house. It was going to be demolished. A young man bought and rebuilt it in Berlin Germany. The US did not want it. It was just another eyesore of our ugly history.



Utter disrespect towards the Black woman who in 1955 dared to refuse to give up her seat to a white man in Alabama.
