Dr.Carter
G. Woodson Dr. Carter G. Woodson, born to parents who had been slaves, was the
second person of African descent to receive a doctorate from Harvard
University. He has been credited by some (Hanley, 1999) to have introduced the
concept of cultural competence early in the 20th century with the creation of
the Society for the Study of the Negro Culture and Life. Hanley tells us (1999,
p. 9): “As a historian, Dr. Woodson believed that if a people understood their
history and contributions to the society in which they lived, then (1) they
would feel better about themselves, (2) other groups of people would feel
better about the oppressed group and be more accepting of them, and (3) there
would be greater acceptance between and within groups of people, reducing the
level of racism in society.
