BLACK IN TIME: A Moment In OUR History


Dr. Carter G. Woodson:

"The Father Of Black History," Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Was Awarded The NAACP's Spingarn Medal,  On This Day In 1926.

As A  Scholar, Author, Educator And Historian, Dr. Woodson  Worked To Make Sure That The Accomplishments Of Black People To America And The World, Were Recoginzed And Not Forgotten. To That End, He Created What Is Known Today As Black History Month,  In  February, 1926.

He Chose February To Coincide With The Birthdays Of Frederick Douglass And Abraham Lincoln, Two Figures Who  Impacted The Lives Of African Americans.

Prior To The Creation Of Black History Month, Dr. Woodson Had Already Established The Association For The Study Of Negro Life And History (Today Called The Asscociation For The Study Of African American Life And History) In 1915. The ASALH Created  Research  And Publication Outlets For Black Scholars. Including  The Journal Of Negro History And The Negro Bulletin.

Although Dr. Woodson Authored Many Scholarly Writings Prior To His Death, His Most Popular And Most Cited  Exposition Reamins The Miseducation Of The Negro, Published In 1933.

The first ever of its kind within the leading edge Hip Hop Economy. The two organizations are pioneering the latest evolution of the Hip Hop Economy by joining vast virtual networks in the Web 2.0 Marketspace connecting the streets, artists, entrepreneurs, historically black colleges, and global activists in African centered organizations.

The timing is remarkable considering that Dr Benjamin F. Chavis Muhammad recently took control of the first publicly traded Hip Hop company on June 7, 2007 -H3 Enterprises, Inc. http://www.h3inc.com (OTCBB: “HTRE“), which announced the unanimous decision of its Board of Directors to appoint Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis as the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). These emerging businesses will have a ground breaking and progressive impact on the way entrepreneurs in the African Diaspora and International Hip Hop community do business globally. These alliances will form a complete cycle of money from venture capital being invested into new businesses by young black entrepreneurs and revenues being reinvested back into Historically Black Colleges and
