#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement cre #GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Giving Tuesday will be held on Tuesday, November 29, 2022. ASALH’s 2022 “Giving Tuesday Campaign” is dedicated to increasing student participation in our branches. We want to inspire. support and develop the next generation of Black historians, social scientists, scholars and educators. Our goal is to raise sufficient funds to pay the 2023 general membership dues for five student members for each ASALH branch. Hopefully, we will also raise enough money to pay their local dues as well. We are living in a time when states are in a frenzy to pass laws that prevent the teaching of our experience in America. We are in a time where we are being told that telling our history and lived experience brings such discomfort to school age children that it should be illegal to do so. We need to ensure that interested students have opportunities to participate in activities that accurately reflect our history and lived experience. Student membership dues are $55.00. We hope to add at least 275 student members through this effort. Each branch would be allowed to develop their own criteria for selecting and awarding the membership dues to five students. Our theme for this campaign is to request generous giving to ASALH to support our diligent efforts to preserve our past and share knowledge to shape our future. #giving #asalh #branches #youth

Posted @withrepost • @drjelanifavors We throw th Posted @withrepost • @drjelanifavors We throw the word legend and icon around too loosely these days. But it was my honor and privilege to help bring this session together for #ASALH2022 featuring a man who is a TRUE pillar of FUNK music and American popular culture - Mr. Fred Wesley. In addition to his own brilliant solo career, Mr. Wesley’s horn played on some of the most important songs of the Black Power era while playing with James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic. During his INCREDIBLE talk with Dr. Scot Brown, he displayed the intersectionality of Black music when he said that James Brown hired him because “he liked the fact that I could put a little jazz in his funk.” Songs like, Say It Loud I’m Black and I’m Proud, and Make My Funk the P-Funk would not have been the same without his brilliant contributions. Thanks to @dr.scotbrown__musikverse for facilitating a stimulating conversation to a packed room who got to see and meet a musical legend up close. We are all much funkier for it!! #asalh2022 #fredwesley #fredwesleyandthejbs #passthepeas #sayitloudimblackandimproud #makemyfunkthepfunk #funkmusic #soulmusic #funkateers #legend #icon

ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History
When Carter G. Woodson established Negro History week in 1926, he realized the importance of providing a theme to focus the attention of the public. The intention has never been to dictate or limit the exploration of the Black experience, but to bring to the public’s attention important developments that merit emphasis. The 2023 Black History Month theme is"Black Resistance" and we encourage you to learn why this is an important topic to explore. Can't wait to celebrate black history month with you in February!asalh.org/black-history-themes/ ... See MoreSee Less
