Learn the history they don’t want you to know.

The W. M. Dulaney Branch of ASALH invites you to join our Freedom School, a powerful summer program taught by Dr. Dinkinesh Madiba (aka Lucy Houston) at the African American Museum in Dallas.

ASALH—the Association for the Study of African American Life and History—was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson to preserve and teach Black history year-round. Its mission: “Promote, research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture to the global community.”

Freedom Schools have deep roots. After Emancipation and again during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, they served as spaces for truth-telling, empowerment, and resistance, teaching Black history when the state refused to. We continue that legacy today.
