ASALH Branch Reports

Each branch is required to complete the Yearly Branch Report and submit it to the ASALH Headquarters by January 15th. Branch members, please assist your president in making sure your reports are in on time.

Remember, our bylaws require that your branch status via branch reports be reviewed by our Executive Council members at the June meeting. They look forward to the report of your projects and how you promote the legacy of Dr. Woodson.
A conference call was held on November 21, 2013 to review this new reporting document. The majority of our branches had representatives on the call. Please ask your branch president share what was covered during your next meeting. If you have any questions regarding these reports, please contact the Vice President for Membership, Dr. Janet Sims-Wood by email.

Branches can submit reports online or by paper form. These forms can be found here.

"Woodson/Franklin Talks"

Forging Pathways to Multiculturalism and Interracial Understanding in the Twenty-First Century

The purpose of this proposal is to solicit support in hosting a series of ―Woodson/Franklin Talks‖ co-sponsored with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, Inc. (ASALH). The purpose of the ―Woodson/Franklin Talks‖ would be to engage the public in a series of ―courageous conversations‖ that will address the problem of ―race‖ and methods of ―racial reconciliation‖ pursued historically in the United States and around the world.
The thoughts and ideas of Dr. Carter G. Woodson found in his 1933 seminal work The Mis-Education of the Negro and in Carter G. Woodson’s Appeal, written in 1921, but published in 2008, will serve as the springboard for this series of conversations.

We need your help to reconnect with past members!

Do you know where they are?

In the past, there were ASALH Branches in the following states and cities within these states:
Arkansas (Marianna); Ohio (Shaker Heights, Columbus, Wilberforce, Toledo);
Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah); New Jersey (Sickleville, East Orange (2), Mt. Laurel); Missouri (St. Louis);
South Carolina (Orangeburg); Tennessee (Chattanooga); Wisconsin (Milwaukee); Delaware (Newark);
Connecticut (Hartford); Texas ( Houston and Dallas), and Kentucky (Louisville).

These branches no longer exist and we would like to revitalize them.  If you live in these areas or know
someone who does and may be interested in forming a branch, please contact the ASALH Executive Director,
Sylvia Y. Cyrus at Executive Director.  We are working to form new branches,  revitalize inactive branches, or
reconnect with members who we have lost contact over the years.  Thanks for your help with this matter.
