More than 20 years ago, I worked @ASALH.  I worked with Dr. Bettye Gardner, who has been  brilliant and consistent in her work toward amplifying Woodson, his house and ASALH.  Gail Hansberry was executive director of the organization then.  

I remember going into Woodson's home and helping to box up the many volumes of books that were throughout the house.  

I look forward to visiting the site now that it's been renovated.
