The Association for the Study of African American Life & History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the Father of #BlackHistoryMonth.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Kali Nicole G We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Kali Nicole Gross has been awarded the 2025 ASALH Book Prize for her groundbreaking work, Vengeance Feminism! This powerful book tells the story of Black women who fought back against racism, sexism, and injustice. Weaving historical narrative with Black feminist analysis, Dr. Gross highlights the lives of women who defended their dignity on their own terms, from 19th-century “badger thieves” to victims of intimate partner violence who fought for their autonomy. #ASALH #ASALHBookPrize #VengeanceFeminism #BlackHistoryMonth

On this day, February 1, we remember Echol Cole an On this day, February 1, we remember Echol Cole and Robert Walker, two African American sanitation workers who tragically lost their lives in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1968. Crushed to death in a malfunctioning garbage truck, their deaths underscored the dangerous and unjust working conditions faced by Black sanitation workers. Their passing became the catalyst for the historic 1968 Memphis sanitation workers’ strike, where hundreds of workers demanded safer conditions, better pay, and union recognition. This movement gained national attention, drawing the support of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who traveled to Memphis to champion their cause. The strike highlighted the deep connection between labor rights and racial justice, forever linking the fight for economic dignity to the Civil Rights Movement. Today, we honor their sacrifice as a symbol of resilience and progress. #ASALH #BHM2025 #AfricanAmericansAndLabor #EcholCole #RobertWalker
On this day, February 1, 1960, four courageous Afr On this day, February 1, 1960, four courageous African American college students—Ezell Blair Jr. (later known as Jibreel Khazan), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond—later known as the Greensboro Four, ignited a powerful movement for civil rights. The students, all freshmen at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College (now North Carolina A&T State University), sat down at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina, and refused to leave after being denied service. Their peaceful protest inspired a wave of sit-ins across the country, challenging segregation and demanding equal rights. This pivotal moment in history highlighted the power of youth activism and collective action in the fight against racial injustice.
Every day is about Black history, but we’ll take Every day is about Black history, but we’ll take the spotlight this month! Celebrate with us, learn with us, and honor the legacy together. Our history is ours to declare—our fingerprints are imprinted on this nation’s foundation. Carter G. Woodson, ASALH founder and father of Black History Month, didn’t wait for recognition; he proclaimed it, and so do we ✊🏾 #ASALH #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2025 #CarterGWoodson
