What is the main idea of “the other woodson” (pages 219–220)?

Answer 1

The main idea of "the other woodson" is that there are other individuals with the last name Woodson who have achieved great success and made significant contributions in various fields, but they are often overshadowed by the more well-known figure, Carter G. Woodson, who is considered the "father of Black history." The passage highlights the accomplishments of other Woodsons, such as Jacqueline Woodson, a highly acclaimed author, and Chris Woodson, a successful animator and artist, among others. It emphasizes the diversity and talent of individuals with the Woodson surname beyond just Carter G. Woodson.
