"Carter Reads the Newspaper: The Story of Carter G. Woodson, Founder of Black History Month" by Deborah Hopkinson tells the inspiring story of Carter G. Woodson, an African American scholar and educator. Growing up in a time when African American history was often ignored, Woodson was determined to highlight the contributions of Black individuals throughout history. The narrative follows Woodson's relentless pursuit of knowledge and his dedication to promoting Black history, culminating in the establishment of Negro History Week, which eventually evolved into Black History Month. The book emphasizes themes of perseverance, education, and the importance of recognizing diverse histories. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
