The Association for the Study of African American Life & History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the Father of #BlackHistoryMonth.
Fannie Lou Hamer was a courageous civil rights lea Fannie Lou Hamer was a courageous civil rights leader and voting rights activist who became a powerful voice for racial equality in the 1960s. Born in Mississippi, Hamer dedicated her life to challenging systemic racism and empowering African Americans to exercise their right to vote. She co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1964 to challenge the all-white delegation at the Democratic National Convention, gaining national attention for her testimony about voter suppression and racial violence. Hamer’s activism extended to economic justice as she worked to combat poverty in the Black community through initiatives like the Freedom Farm Cooperative. Her unwavering courage and determination made her an enduring symbol of grassroots activism and the fight for justice. #AfricanAmericansandLabor #ASALH #FannieLouHamer

Today, we honor the dream and the legacy. 🕊️ Today, we honor the dream and the legacy. 🕊️ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." - MLK Reminder: ASALH will honor Dr. King’s legacy by participating in the MLK National Day of Service on January 20, 2025. The ASALH offices will be closed. #ASALH #MLKDay #KeepTheLegacyAlive

Myers was a key figure in Black history and the la Myers was a key figure in Black history and the labor movement during Reconstruction. In 1868, he founded the Colored Caulkers Trade Union Society, organizing Black workers to secure fair wages and workplace protections. A year later, he established the Colored National Labor Union (CNLU), serving as its first president and uniting Black workers to demand economic justice in a racially divided labor market. His efforts not only empowered African American laborers but also inspired the broader fight for equality, with Frederick Douglass succeeding him as CNLU president in 1872. #AfricanAmericansandLabor #ASALH #IsaacMyers

On January 10-11, 1957, sixty Black pastors and ci On January 10-11, 1957, sixty Black pastors and civil rights leaders from across the South, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., convened in Atlanta, Georgia, to strategize coordinated efforts against racial discrimination and segregation. This meeting marked a significant step in uniting advocates of justice and equality under the principles of nonviolence. Discussions focused on empowering African Americans to challenge systemic oppression through peaceful protests and grassroots organizing. The gathering ultimately led to the formation of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an influential organization that would play a central role in the civil rights movement, shaping the course of history in the fight for justice and social change.

Wyatt, who was a trailblazer in the United States labor movement and a champion for civil rights.
