FYI
Greetings,
The
Moorland-Spingarn Research Center at Howard University is pleased to be joining
the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and the
National Parks Service in celebrating the 138th birthday of Dr. Carter G.
Woodson, founder of the Association, the Journal of Negro History (now the
Journal of African American History), and the annual Black History Month
commemoration. Dr. Woodson founded the graduate program in History at
Howard and served as Dean of its College of Arts and Sciences. He has
likely had a greater impact on the study of black history than any other single
individual in the world. This is to invite you to join us on December 19,
2013 at 6:00 p.m. for this annual celebration.
The
event will be held at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church, 1500 9th St. NW. Dr. Gregory
Carr, esteemed Director of the African American Studies Department at Howard,
is the featured speaker. I hope you will join me and the staff at
Moorland as we celebrate the life and legacy of one of our most distinguished
pioneers in the preservation, interpretation, and celebration of black
history and culture.
Sincerely,
Howard
