Carter G. Woodson in the Baltimore Afro-American, 1926–1950

It is sad that in 2023, we still do not have a “Collected Works of Carter G. Woodson.” Such a series would be a tremendous undertaking, to be sure, but surely worthwhile. Woodson was one of the pioneers of Black history, a trailblazer and mentor for a whole generation of Black historians, and yet so much of his work remains tucked away in archives. Frederick Douglass has had a host of scholars working on his papers; Booker T. Washington had Louis Harlan; Du Bois had Aptheker (and Partington!); Francis Grimké had Carter Woodson himself; but Woodson’s works remain scattered. This series of posts is one small effort to remedy that and to make some of Woodson’s work more accessible.
