Woodson House Update Closes Out Black History Month, 02/28/2007 February 28, 2007

Now that the National Park Service controls 1538-1542 9th Street, NW, and the first brown, black, and white NPS sign has gone up in front of the Carter G. Woodson Home, what comes next? Come hear about the remaining steps in the process for the development of the National Historic Site dedicated to the father of Black History on Wednesday, February 28, 2007, at 6:30 PM at the Kennedy Recreation Center, 1401 7th Street, NW.
Representatives from the National Park Service will be on hand to discuss the work that has been done to date and upcoming activities; the Association for the Study of African American Life and History will discuss their role in the project; and a talented Shaw resident will present a personal tribute to Dr Woodson. This event, sponsored by Shaw Main Streets, is free and open to the public, and no reservations are required.
