“Black Voices: Inspiring and Empowering Quotes from Global Thought Leaders was my opportunity to continue uplifting the legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson and his peers. Woodson wanted us to remember what the Negro has accomplished in the world. Thus, we must always remember that Black history is world history. The legacies and futures of people of African descent worldwide are intertwined,” said Jessica Ann Mitchell Aiwuyor, founder of the National Black Cultural Information Trust, Inc.
