Woodson - Teacher, Historian, Publisher A pencil-drawn page with a large portrait of Carter G. Woodson and four small panels (a Philippine schoolhouse under a US flag, a young miner, a man writing at a desk) with biographical captions. The technique is a weak fit: it works by transfer, associating a respected Black scholar's record with the American war effort, and is otherwise a biographical profile. ## Propaganda techniques used in this cartoon [Transfer](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/transfer/) ## Text on the object Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` 36 2/3 Picas CARTER G. WOODSON TEACHER, HISTORIAN, PUBLISHER From 1903 to 1906, Dr. Woodson was a supervisor of schools in the Philippines. His headquarters were located near the spot where the first Japanese forces landed after Pearl Harbor. Born of ex-slave parents, young Woodson could only attend school on rainy days, when work on the farm was impossible. At 17, he was a miner in West Virginia! Dr. Woodson, through his scholarly writings, is responsible, more than any other single person for familiarizing the American public with the contribution of the Negro to world history. He is the originator of Negro History Week, and founder of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. His works on Negro history are to be found in the libraries of every important institution of learning. Alston for OWI ``` [← C. C.
