The branch structure of ASALH reflects Carter G. Woodson's belief that our
mission of creating and disseminating knowledge about Black history could not
be realized by academics alone. He envisioned the branches as a means of
extending ASALH's reach across the country and beyond to gather primary
materials about Black history and to promote the finished results to the public
through events and organizational activities.

A Renewed Emphasis on Branches
The Executive Council recognizes the importance of branches. Staff support is
provided to improve the experience of the branch members. At the annual
convention, branches are recognized for their accomplishments in meeting the
ASALH mission.
