2008 Black History Month
Carter G. Woodson and the
Origins of Multiculturalism

(Picture downloaded from www.naacp.org/about/history/cartergwoodson.jpg 1/26/08)
Known as the "Father of Black History,"Carter G. Woodson devoted his life to researching, publishing, and increasing public awareness of black history. He founded Negro History Week in 1926, to commemorate and celebrate the contributions made by people of African descent to the American society, as part of his vision of developing a "history of the world void of national bias, race, hate, and religious prejudice."
The Association for the Study of African American Life and History has devoted the 2008 Annual Black History Theme to both the labors of Carter G.Woodson and the origins of multiculturalism. The main effort of this year’s theme is to show that multiculturalism had its origins in the struggles of African Americans to have their cultural contributions recognized by American society.
In celebration of Black History Month, and the 2008 Black History Month Theme, "Carter G. Woodson and the Origins of Multiculturalism", we have compiled a companion bibliography to accompany the exhibit on the first floor of McCain Library, featuring books, journal and popular press articles, websites and other information resources by and about Carter G. Woodson and multi-culturalism in America.
