Quick Summary

The Journal of Negro History, established in 1916 by historian Carter G. Woodson, was a seminal scholarly publication dedicated to the study of Black life and history. Woodson, often called the "father of Black history," founded the journal through the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History). The journal aimed to correct the neglected and distorted narratives of Black people's roles in American and world affairs. Under Woodson's editorship for over three decades, it became a vital historical periodical. In 2002, it was renamed The Journal of African American History. Woodson also launched The Negro History Bulletin in 1937.1
