by Various

"The Journal of Negro History, Volume 2, 1917" by Various is a quarterly academic journal published in 1917. Founded by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1916, this groundbreaking publication was among the first scholarly journals dedicated to African-American life and history. It provided black scholars an unprecedented platform to examine their heritage and document contemporary experiences when such work was largely unacknowledged. The journal also welcomed white scholars with alternative perspectives, making it revolutionary for its era in advancing African-American studies and ultimately contributing to what became Black History Month.
