Carter Woodson
Definition
- Carter Godwin Woodson was born in New Canton, Virginia, only a decade after the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment that legally abolished slavery. His grandparents and parents with whom he lived had therefore been slaves and, like other newly freed Americans of African descent, were very poor.
