“Walk in the Footsteps of Dr. Carter G. Woodson!”

February 18, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm EST

Visitors will get a rare chance to honor Black History Month by literally walking in the footsteps of its founder, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. In this spellbinding first person delivery “Dr. Woodson” will take visitors from the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site on an interpretive journey to Dr. Woodson’s residence in the Shaw Neighborhood. The procession will be led by noted actor, Darius Wallace, portraying Dr. Woodson who will highlight places relating to his contemporaries as A. Philip Randolph, Nannie Helen Burroughs and Belford Lawson (to name a few).  The program concludes with Dr. Woodson’s explanation of why he created Negro History Week and how YOU can prepare for it!
