The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) was founded on September 9, 1915, by Carter G. Woodson to promote, research, and disseminate knowledge about Black history and culture. Woodson, known as the “Father of Black History,” established ASALH to share the intellectual and other contributions of Black Americans with the world. The organization hosts an annual convention and strives to connect the academic community with the general public to promote a comprehensive understanding of Black history.
The founders of the Carter G. Woodson Society were invited to participate in the 110th Annual ASALH conference in Atlanta, GA as the only high school student panel. From September 25 – 27, the eight founders attended conference activities and participated in their own panel entitled:
“Carter G. Woodson’s Living Legacy: How High School Students Have Taken Bold Steps to Ensure Black Intellectualism is Part of the High School Conversation”
