ASALH is itself part of African American treated, as
Carter G. Woodson often said, as "a negligible factor"
in American and world history. While he labored with
a singularity of purpose, Woodson did not work
alone. His co-workers at the Association were many,
ranging from college presidents and government
officials, to celebrated poets and philosophers, to
everyday folks in rural hamlets. To explore the
history of ASALH is to glimpse a people's strivings,
their institution building. To bring that history to life
in one's imagination is to walk with giants.
