Established on September 9, 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, we are the Founders
of Black History Month and carry forth the work of our founder, the Father of Black
History. 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.
Incorporated in Washington, D.C., ASALH is a not-for-profit 501(C)(3) organization.
