Woodson was an important figure to the movement of Afrocentrism, due to his perspective of placing people of African descent at the center of the study of history and the human experience. Born in Virginia, the son of former slaves, Woodson had to put off schooling while he worked in the coal mines of West Virginia. He graduated from Berea College, and became a teacher and school administrator. He gained graduate degrees at the University of Chicago and in 1912 was the second African American, after W. E. B. Du Bois, to obtain a PhD degree from Harvard University. Woodson remains the only person whose parents were enslaved in the United States to obtain a History PhD. He taught at historically black colleges Howard University and West Virginia State University but spent most his career in Washington, DC managing the ASALH, public speaking, writing, and publishing.

  • Carter Godwin Woodson ( (Virginia), 19 december 1875 - Washington D.C., 3 april 1950) was een Afro-Amerikaanse historicus en schrijver. Hij was de mede-oprichter van de Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) en initiatiefnemer van de Negro History Week, de voorloper van de Black History Month. Woodson was een zoon van gewezen slaven en behaalde een doctoraat geschiedenis aan de universiteit van Harvard. Hij streefde ernaar het belang van de zwarten in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis erkend te krijgen. In 1926 riep hij de tweede week van februari uit als Negro History Week. Bij die gelegenheid verklaarde hij: "Als een ras geen geschiedenis heeft, als het geen waardevolle traditie heeft, dan wordt het in het denken van de wereld een te negeren factor en dreigt het gevaar te worden uitgeroeid".
