Woodson seriously as a personality and an institution builder. Most notably we learn how he used the press to transform the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History into the force that reshaped the celebration of Negro History, turning it into the most vibrant celebration of public history in America.

Woodson (1875-1950) used the black press and modern public-relations techniques to popularize black history during the first half of the twentieth century. Often overlooked is Woodson's skillful use of newspapers in developing and executing a public-education campaign built on truth, accuracy, and fairness. Burnis R. Morris explains how Woodson attracted mostly favorable news coverage for his history movement due to his deep understanding of the newspapers' business and editorial models as well as his public-relations skills.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Woodson's publicity tactics, combined with access to the audiences granted by the press, enabled him to drive the black history movement-particularly observance of Negro History Week and fundraising activities. This rarely explored side of Woodson, who was often called the \"\"Father of Black History,\"\" reintroduces Woodson's lost image as a leading cultural icon who used his celebrity in multiple roles as an opinion journalist, newsmaker, and publicist of black history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600363188504,"sku":"9781496820136","price":24.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/carter-g-woodson-history-the-black-press-and-public-relations-paperback-softback-9781496820136","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
