The Association for the Study of African American Life & History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the Father of #BlackHistoryMonth.
On this day, May 2, 1963, more than 1,000 Black sc On this day, May 2, 1963, more than 1,000 Black schoolchildren in Birmingham, Alabama, took to the streets in a courageous nonviolent demonstration known as the Children’s Crusade. Organized by civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Reverend James Bevel, the march aimed to protest the city’s harsh system of segregation. These young protesters, some as young as six, sought to challenge discriminatory laws that kept Black people segregated in schools, restaurants, and public spaces. As the children marched, they were met with overwhelming force from law enforcement—fire hoses, police dogs, and mass arrests. Journalists captured the brutal images of young people being knocked down by water streams and attacked by dogs, which caused outrage across the nation and put a spotlight on the violence faced by Black Americans. The Children's Crusade played a pivotal role in the eventual desegregation of Birmingham, leading to an agreement to open public spaces, improve hiring practices for Black residents, and remove segregationist policies. Their brave stand helped galvanize the larger Civil Rights Movement, proving the immense power of nonviolent protest and the leadership of youth in the fight for justice. #ASALH #childrenscrusade1963

Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) was a pioneerin Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) was a pioneering Black educator, orator, and leader whose contributions to the labor movement and Black history were rooted in his belief in economic self-reliance, industrial education, and the transformative power of work. Born into slavery, Washington rose to national prominence after founding Tuskegee Institute in Alabama in 1881, where he built an institution focused on training African Americans in trades such as agriculture, carpentry, printing, and domestic sciences. He saw vocational education not as a limitation but as a pathway to empowerment, arguing that Black workers could gain economic stability, community pride, and long-term influence by becoming indispensable through their skills. Washington encouraged Black people to “cast down their bucket where they were,” to work hard, build wealth, and establish self-sufficient communities. He worked with both Black leaders and white philanthropists to fund educational initiatives and Black-owned businesses, laying the groundwork for cooperative economics and future labor organizing. While his emphasis on accommodation and economic progress over direct political confrontation sparked debate—especially among more radical thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois—Washington’s approach helped elevate the role of Black labor in America’s development. His legacy endures in the continued pursuit of economic justice and vocational excellence in the Black community. #ASALH #AfricanAmericansAndLabor #BookerTWashington

Sarah White (also known as Sarah Hamer, 1958–2020) was a trailblazing labor organizer and revolutionary humanist who played a central role in the Catfish Workers union drive in Mississippi during the 1980s and 1990s. A fearless advocate for the rights of Black working-class women, White brought her deep political insight and unwavering commitment to justice into every space she occupied—from the shop floor to the union hall to the pages of News & Letters, where she wrote the longstanding column “Woman as Reason.” Her activism wasn’t confined to a single campaign; in the mid-1990s, she co-founded the Mississippi Workers’ Center for Human Rights alongside fellow radical organizer Jaribu Hill, who continues to lead the organization today. Together, they built a movement rooted in human dignity, collective power, and a vision for liberation shaped by the voices of Black women workers. White’s legacy lives on not only in the lives she touched, but also in the ongoing work of comrades like Hill and in the scholarship and organizing efforts of a new generation committed to telling these stories and continuing the fight.#ASALH #AfricanAmericansAndLabor #SarahWhite ...
