In celebration of Black History Month, the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics at Ole Miss featured this program dealing with the work of Carter G. Woodson, an educator, historian and author who was known as the “Father of Black History.”

Leading the discussion is Burnis R. Morris, the Carter G. Woodson Professor at Marshall University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications who has written a new book on the life of the program’s subject, “Carter G. Woodson: History, The Black Press and Public Relations,” published by University Press of Mississippi.

Joining Morris in the conversation is Alysia Steele, an assistant professor of journalism at Ole Miss and author of “Delta Jewels: In Search of My Grandmother’s Wisdom.”
