Notes
  • STORED OFF SITE AND ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: The house at No. 1538 Ninth Street NW was the home, office, and workplace of Carter Godwin Woodson (1875-1950)—the “Father of Black History”—for nearly three decades during the most significant years of his life as a pioneering historian of African-American social and cultural history. He not only researched and wrote numerous books while resident in the house, but also used it as the headquarters of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History) and the organization’s related journals, the Journal of Negro History (now the Journal of African American History) and the Negro History Bulletin (now the Black History Bulletin). Dr. Woodson also operated Associated Publishers, Inc., out of the house, an independent commercial publishing house for books on African-American topics. The contributions that Dr. Woodson made in raising the profile of African-American history in the United States were unprecedented for their qualitative and quantitative breadth. In addition to situating African-American history as an integral part of American history and life, he was an early adopter of a multidisciplinary outlook in historical research and writing that foreshadowed significant changes to the field later in the twentieth century.
