Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site [DC]
Carter G. Woodson was the son of former slaves and was the second African American to receive a degree from Harvard, a feat which he achieved in 1912. Woodson is most famous for his prolific writings and publications which, for the first time, chronicled the history of African Americans. In addition, Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and The Associated Publishers in order to aid in positive press for the African American population. The Woodson Home is located on Vermont Avenue in downtown Washington, D.C.
