Woodson wanted us to remember what the Negro has accomplished in the world. Thus, we must always remember that Black history is world history. The legacies and futures of people of African descent worldwide are intertwined,” said Jessica Ann Mitchell Aiwuyor, founder of the National Black Cultural Information Trust, Inc.
