Carter G. Woodson was a scholar whose dedication to celebrating the historic contributions of Black people led to the establishment of Black History Month, marked every February since 1976. Woodson fervently believed that Black people should be proud of their heritage and all Americans should understand the largely overlooked achievements of Black Americans.

Artist statement: I’m a 2006 grad of Syracuse University with a BFA in Illustration. My main medium is acrylic. I enjoy painting and illustrating various aspects of life especially African American. I especially love working in my sketchbook because I wouldn’t be able to grow as an illustrator without it. My sketchbook goes everywhere with me. Contact Mr. Ladd and BC.
