There are 20 schools in the USA with the word woodson in the name.
The word "Woodson" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a way to honor Carter G. Woodson, a prominent African American historian, author, and educator who is often referred to as the "Father of Black History." Woodson played a crucial role in promoting the study of African American history and culture, and he was instrumental in establishing Negro History Week, which later evolved into Black History Month. Schools are often named after influential figures to inspire students and to recognize contributions to education and civil rights. The name "Woodson" thus reflects both a respect for historical achievements and a commitment to the values of inclusivity and diversity in education. This practice is particularly prevalent in school districts aiming to highlight important cultural figures and encourage the study of American history from multiple perspectives.
