Named in honor of the noted scholar of African American history, Carter G. Woodson, this lecture series is sponsored each year by AASRP. Initially developed as a Faculty Luncheon Forum in 1992, this series has evolved into one of AASRP's cornerstone events. It enriches the campus and community's intellectual understanding of various topics and themes relating to issues of race and culture. It also provides faculty and graduate students with an academic arena to present their research as part of an organized forum.
