As a young man, Robert Woodson had experiences with
segregation which drew him to the University of Pennsylvania
where he earned a master's degree in social work.
He got involved in the civil rights movement where he led
protests and organized community development programs.
Woodson dedicated his life to uplifting people and their
communities to ease their struggles.
However, over the years he became increasingly skeptical
of liberal politics and found its prescriptions for helping
the disadvantaged wanting. This resulted in Woodson
becoming a conservative, and he advocated for self-reliance
over government dependence a' la the Welfare State, and
local solutions over central planning. Woodson would go on
to mold President Reagan's social policy during the 1980s.
In 2020, Woodson founded 1776 Unites, a non-profit that
was created to combat the historical falsehoods of the
controversial 1619 Project. He became a staunch, reliable,
indefatigable conservative activist.
At 89, Robert Woodson's work has concluded. May many
others take up his task, and may Woodson rest in peace.
