ASALH is very proud to welcome the documentary bas ASALH is very proud to welcome the documentary based on the “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks” by @jeannetheoharis who will be appearing in person on Sat, Sep 23, 2:05 to 3:40pm EDT (2:05 to 3:40pm EDT), Jacksonville Hyatt Riverfront Hotel, Floor: 3rd Floor, City Terrace 4-Film Festival 3rd Floor. Copies of the young adult version of this award-winning book have been made possible (on a limited basis for students) by Zinn Education Project. This documentary sheds light on Rosa Parks' extensive organizing, radical politics, and lifelong dedication to justice. Based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis and executive produced by award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien, this 2022 Peabody Award winning documentary depicts Rosa Parks’ life-long dedication to justice. The film chronicles her childhood, her activism before and during the historic Montgomery Bus Boycott, her work for Congressman John Conyers in Detroit, and her involvement in causes such as voting rights, anti-apartheid, reparations, fair housing, women’s rights, and the fight against police violence. The film was directed by Yoruba Richen and Johanna Hamilton. Join us!

Posted @withregram • @400yaahc Carter G. Woodson Posted @withregram • @400yaahc Carter G. Woodson, often hailed as the ‘Father of Black History,’ was a pioneering historian, educator, and activist whose tireless efforts transformed how African-American history is understood, celebrated, and integrated into the broader narrative of American history. 📚 Woodson had a challenging childhood, but his unwavering determination to seek knowledge propelled him to become the second African American to earn a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University. 📚In 1926, Woodson initiated ‘Negro History Week,’ which later evolved into the now widely recognized ‘Black History Month.’ 📚Woodson’s commitment to education led him to establish the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). 📚His groundbreaking book, ‘The Mis-Education of the Negro,’ remains a powerful critique of the educational system’s failure to acknowledge the contributions of Black Americans. As we honor Carter G. Woodson’s memory, we are reminded of his remarkable contributions to education, history, and social progress. #WeAreBlackHistory #AfricanAmericanHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #ASALH

Posted @withregram • @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1915, Posted @withregram • @nmaahc #OnThisDay in 1915, Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Chicago, Illinois. The organization promoted, researched, preserved, interpreted, and disseminated information about Black life, history, and culture. @asalh_bhm continues to instill pride and dignity in African Americans by charting past and current triumphs and community achievements. Under Woodson’s pioneering leadership, the Association created research and publication platforms for Black scholars including the Journal of Negro History in 1916. 10 years later, in 1926, Woodson initiated the celebration of “Negro History Week,” as an Association outreach program for Black people of all ages. It coincided with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, and in 1976, expanded to include the entire month of February as #BlackHistoryMonth. #APeoplesJourney 📸 Courtesy of NPGallery, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
