The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is excited to bring the 110th Annual Conference & Meeting to the beautiful city of Atlanta, GA. Our 2025 theme is "African Americans and Labor," and ASALH members and supporters will converge in Atlanta, a city that is rich in civil rights and labor history and African American culture. We hope you will register to become a part of this historical treasure.

    The ASALH Annual Conference is an occasion to explore the history and culture of people of African descent. Our conference brings together more than 1,000 people, including educators, students, community builders, business professionals, and others who share an abiding interest in learning about the contributions of African Americans to this nation and the world.

    For over a century, our conference has featured a rich program, which now includes scholarly sessions, professional workshops, plenary sessions, a Film Festival, and other presentations that analyze and illuminate a critical theme in the Black experience.

    Our 2025 in-person conference will offer attendees sessions featuring ASALH members who are prominent figures in Black cultural studies, as well as students from many disciplines. Sessions will cover various aspects of Black life, history, and culture, all within the theme. Please register now to assist us.
