The Wrap

A piece of Black history in Washington is getting a fresh start. The Carter G. Woodson Home National Historical Site holds its grand re-opening on Saturday, Nov. 7, with the National Park Service and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. It's free. Doors are open all day, so a good old-fashioned history outing is on.
