@wtopnews: The Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia, had a rededication Wednesday to instead pay tribute to Carter G. Woodson, a Virginia native credited with being the “father of African American history." Wednesday’s rededication, school officials said, served as a reminder of the previous namesake’s troubling past and an opportunity to acknowledge it and move forward.
