Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site Act

This law established the Carter G. Woodson Home in Washington, D.C., as a National Historic Site managed by the National Park Service. It authorized the federal government to acquire and restore the home of Dr. Woodson—the "Father of Black History"—along with adjacent properties to preserve his legacy and the history of the African American experience.

For citizens, this act ensures the permanent protection of a landmark where the study of African American history was pioneered, making it accessible to the public for education and tourism. It also allows the National Park Service to partner with private organizations to provide historical programs and community resources in the surrounding Shaw neighborhood.
