Council Award of Special Recognition

ASALH established the Award of Special Recognition to acknowledge the contributions of individuals, institutions, and corporations that make a substantial contribution to the success of ASALH in pursuing the mission of its founder, Dr. Carter G. Woodson.  The Award may vary, including certificates, medals, trophies, and plaques.  Nominees must demonstrate a history of support for activities and programs consistent with ASALH’s mission, which may include support for annual events such as the Annual Meeting, the Black History Month Luncheon, and the Carter G. Woodson Birthday Celebration, as well as support for special initiatives such as the general campaign. The Council, at its discretion, may also designate individuals for special recognition who have made noteworthy accomplishments or contributions to the documentation, preservation, and accurate dissemination of the Black experience through teaching, service, research, scholarship, and publishing.
