==Background==
Carter G. Woodson was born in Buckingham County, Virginia 〔"Virginian Started Negro History Week in 1926". ''Norfolk (VA) New Journal and Guide'', February 9, 1957, p. 11.〕 on December 19, 1875, the son of former slaves, James and Eliza Riddle Woodson.〔Betty J. Edwards, "He Made World Respect Negroes". ''Chicago Defender'', February 8, 1965, p. 9.〕 His father helped Union soldiers during the Civil War and moved his family to West Virginia when he heard that Huntington was building a high school for blacks.
Coming from a large, poor family, Carter Woodson could not regularly attend school. Through self-instruction, Woodson mastered the fundamentals of common school subjects by age 17. Wanting more education, Carter went to Fayette County to earn a living as a miner in the coal fields. He was able to devote only a few months each year to his schooling.
In 1895, at the age of 20, Woodson entered Douglass High School, where he received his diploma in less than two years.〔Maurice F. White, "Dr. Carter G. Woodson History Week Founder". ''Cleveland Call and Post'', February 16, 1963, p. 3C.〕 From 1897 to 1900, Woodson taught at Winona in Fayette County. In 1900 he was selected as the principal of Douglass High School. He earned his Bachelor of Literature degree from Berea College in Kentucky in 1903 by taking classes part-time between 1901 and 1903.
