The Woodson Review 

 In 2005, I became the founding editor of the Association for the Study of African American History's (ASALH's) Annual Theme Magazine, which was renamed The Woodson Review in 2007.  I continue to be the editor.  The magazine explores ASALH's annual black history theme with popular articles.

This year's magazine explores the 2008 ASALH National Black History Theme--Carter G. Woodson and the Origins of Multiculturalism.  For more information visit, www.asalh.org.

Carter G. Woodson's Appeal

In 2005, as I was working on ASALH's copyright to Woodson's The Mis-Education of the Negro, I discovered a lost manuscript by The Father of Black History.  I am in the process of editing and writing an introduction for the book.  In contrast to The Mis-Education, which focused on the shortcomings of the so-called educated classes of black Americans, Woodson's Appeal is defense of the black race that points up the shortcomings of white Americans.  Written in post-World War I America, Woodson's Appeal reflects the thoughts of Woodson as he built ASALH and established his economic independence. The book should be available May 1, 2008. It will be a limited, leather-bound edition.  For more information, visit www.lostmanuscript.com
