Carter G. Woodson.

The founder of Negro History Week.

Now I know what you’re thinkin’,

But don’t look at me,

I don’t know if I’m related to Carter G.

Yes we have the same last name,

I might be using it in vain,

But I’d be honored,

To be related to Cater G.

The founder of Negro History Week,

The week that became a month,

A month were fun,

Is made up,

Of pain through reflection.

Remembering the ties,

That bonded our people together,

We hurt, when people don’t get the message.

Carter G.

Founded a week, that became a month,

For you and for me.

A month of acknowledgment,

Of the zero tolerance,

That we had,

For evil & tyranny.

A time to remind folk,

That this wasn’t that long ago

And that white folk,

Y’all can still do better.

Black History Month.

A month that was a week.

A week for our people to see,

How strong we can be,

When we work together.

Carter G.

The founder of Negro History Week.

The week that become a month,

Created a reminder,

For all to see,

Black History isn’t just a month,

It’s ongoing.

Black History is made everyday,

By black folk,

Like you, and me.
