Carter Woodson the FATHER of Black History 

This month, the nation turns to honoring black Americans for their achievements. Initially, it was a week and now it's a month. Adrienne Cannon knows all about Carter G. Woodson. She's the Afro-American history and culture specialist for the manuscript division of the Library of Congress. The library is the keeper of 18,000 items from Woodson's collection of papers that he started donating in 1929. Everything from a letter from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Baltimore, to a manuscript of a poem by Dunbar and slave bills of sale and slave freedom papers.
