Journal of Negro History
Definition
- The Journal of Negro History was founded in 1916 by Carter Godwin Woodson, a Harvard-trained historian, who said, “If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.” His idea was to create a journal that would bring to the U.S. consciousness the history of African Americans and the African Diaspora. In Volume 10, Woodson explained that the journal was established for the compilation of sociological and historical data on the African American experience and for the study of people in the wider African Diaspora.
