Mission
About Us
Established in 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History, we are the Founders of Black History Month and carry forth the work of our founder. We continue his legacy of speaking a fundamental truth to the world--that Africans and peoples of African descent are makers of history and co-workers in what W. E. B. Du Bois called, "The Kingdom of Culture." ASALH's mission is to create and disseminate knowledge about Black History, to be, in short, the nexus between the Ivory Tower and the global public. We labor in the service of Black folks and all humanity.
