0:00.0	I don't know what most white people in this country feel, but I can only include what they feel from the state of their institution.
0:10.0	Now, this is the evidence.
0:14.0	You want me to make an act of faith risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children, on some idealism which you assure me
0:23.9	exists in America, which I have never seen.
0:28.5	Welcome to Black History for White People, a podcast where we educate, resource, and challenge
0:33.2	white people about Black history.
0:35.2	I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host Katina and Aaron.
0:38.8	Today's topic is Carter G. Woodson. We're starting off Black History Month by exploring the
0:44.2	legacy of one of Black history's most notable men. We wanted to share the story of the person who
0:49.0	literally created what we now know of as Black History Month. His story is amazing, and we hope you find it just as inspiring as we did.
0:57.5	We hope you enjoyed the discussion.

1:12.1	this. And I know that, at least from when they were mocking me before we hit recording, that he
1:17.8	has something to do with the development of Black History Month. And so it is Black History Month.
1:22.4	And so this is the month that we come out with an episode every week. So happy black history month. And that means
1:28.7	that instead of two episodes this month, we will come out with four. So that's kind of cool.
1:32.9	Come on now. And yeah, so Carter G. Woodson, hopefully I'm saying that right. We're going to dive into
1:38.4	who he is, what he's done, his legacy, and what I should know in our listeners. I bet most of our listeners probably are in the
1:44.7	same boat as me. They don't know. So, Gary, help us out. What do we need to know? So let's actually
1:49.5	start by just telling his story and walking through it and seeing the twists and turns of where his life
1:55.1	went. Carter G. Woodson was born in New Canton, Virginia in Buckington County on December 19, 1875, so 10 years after the Civil War.
