September 3, 2020 Dear Conference Participants: The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) welcomes you to the opening of its 105th Annual Conference and Meeting. Our conference this year is unprecedented—unlike any other in the annals of ASALH. For the first time in our long history, persons throughout the United States and in other parts of the world will come together in a virtual way because of the pandemic COVID-19, which made it impossible to meet in person in Montgomery, Alabama, as originally planned. Nor will we meet over our traditional five-day period, but instead on every Thursday and Saturday throughout the month of September. The full panoply of sessions and plenaries in store for you speaks to both past and present-day issues of vital interest.

We promise you informative and exciting programming, focused on the ASALH theme for 2020—African Americans and the Vote. And what better year than this one to explore the significance of voting! The year 2020 marks the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) and the right of black men to the ballot after the Civil War. The year 2020 marks the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) and the right of women to vote. And the year 2020 marks yet another historic milestone with the name of an African American woman, Kamala Harris, on the ballot as the Vice-presidential candidate in November’s national election.

The history of African Americans and the vote is as old as the history of this nation. It is as old as the story of the Massachusetts fugitive from slavery Crispus Attucks, who was the first to die in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770, for the American colonists’ principle of “no taxation without representation.” From the petitions of African Americans in New England after the Revolutionary War to those of the organized northern state-by-state conventions in the 1830s-1850s, African Americans demanded the right to vote. From the late nineteenthcentury struggle against disenfranchisement after the end of Reconstruction to Black women’s many decades of suffragist activism, African Americans made their voices heard in pursuit of constitutional guarantees for voting. And from Freedom Summer in 1964 to the legal challenges against voter suppression today, African Americans have continued to bear witness to voting as their civic duty. Such a heritage admonishes us to never fail to understand that black votes and black lives matter.

The ASALH leadership extends its deepest gratitude to the co-chairs and members of the Academic Program Committee, with special thanks to APC chair Natanya Duncan for going well above and beyond the call of duty in this most challenging of times. We also thank the chairs and members of the various committees that played a crucial role in the success of this conference, especially the National Conference Oversight Committee, the Marketing and Public Relations Committee, the Development Committee, the Teachers Workshop, and, of course, the ASALH staff. All that is illuminating and fulfilling in this 105th conference can be attributed to their long hours of preparation and service. With heartfelt appreciation, we thank the many individual donors and corporate sponsors, and especially Zoom for its generosity and unique assistance in making real our virtual conference.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham ASALH National President

105TH ANNUAL MEETING AND VIRTUAL CONFERENCE | SEPTEMBER 2020 | ALL TIMES ARE EST

Dear Conference Participants: Thank you for registering for the 105th Annual Meeting and Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). We welcome you to our very first virtual conference!

This year’s theme, “African Americans and the Vote” is especially relevant as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 15th Amendment and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Both amendments to the Constitution expanded the electorate and extended the promise of democracy to African American men and women, a promise that was fully realized through the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

We have planned a conference which commemorates the milestones that brought us to this historic moment in our history, the selection of a Black woman as the Vice Presidential candidate of a major political party. We have also intentionally made space in our programming to explore the myriad issues our current events beg history to inform. Our twice weekly plenary sessions focus on the gifts our history has rendered and the promises we must keep to ensure the legacy will continue to serve our communities for years to come. These sessions will be simulcast live on ASALH TV and on our Virtual Conference Facebook page to increase awareness of all that ASALH has to offer.

The informative and groundbreaking plenaries are supported by our inaugural Hine/Horne Book Roundtable Series and thought-provoking Presidential Sessions. In the evening, to maintain the signature ASALH spirit of “family reunion” and safe networking space, ASALH will continue to offer its annual Film Festival, as well as offer music, games and instructional fun via our virtual and secure “ASALH Lounge.” All of these are accessible to registrants only through our secure All Academic site.

This year’s conference has a total of over 100 LIVE sessions and special events! Please follow our ASALH Virtual Conference FB Page and ASALH TV for daily updates, recaps, and news about our exciting sessions.

We would like to thank our colleagues on the Academic Program Committee whose dedication made this conference a reality. Their work and steadfast efforts helped create a conference which will be academically enriching, intellectually engaging, while serving to inform and enlighten us on the issues of our precarious present. We hope that this year’s offering, although in a virtual format, will be a fulfilling experience for you, your family and friends.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Association!

Sincerely,

Dr. Natanya P. Duncan Academic Co-chair

Dr. Tara Y. White Academic Co-Chair

ABOUT ASALH Established on September 9, 1915 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, we are the Founders of Black History Month and carry forth the work of our founder, the Father of Black History.

We continue his legacy of speaking a fundamental truth to the world–that Africans and peoples of African descent are makers of history and co-workers in what W. E. B. Du Bois called, “The Kingdom of Culture.” ASALH’s mission is to create and disseminate knowledge about Black History, to be, in short, the nexus between the Ivory Tower and the global public. We labor in the service of Blacks and all humanity.

ASALH is the world’s oldest learned society devoted to the research, education, culture, and history of people of African descent. Dr. Carter G. Woodson is the recognized “Father” of Black history. From its inception, ASALH has remained the paramount organization dedicated to promoting scholarship involving the life and history of African Americans.

OUR VISION The vision of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History is to be the premier Black Heritage learned society with a strong network of national and international branches and partners whose diverse and inclusive membership will continue the Woodson legacy.

OUR MISSION The mission of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH®) is to promote, research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture to the global community.

STRUCTURE The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH®) is head-quartered in Washington, D.C., 301 Rhode Island Ave, NW in Washington, DC. The Association operates as local, state, and international branches promoting greater knowledge of African American history through a program of education, research, and publishing.

105TH ANNUAL MEETING AND VIRTUAL CONFERENCE | SEPTEMBER 2020 | ALL TIMES ARE EST

ABOUT ASALH CONFERENCE The ASALH Annual Conference is an occasion to explore the history and culture of people of African descent. Our conference brings together more than one thousand people, including educators, students, community builders, business professionals, and others who share an abiding interest in learning about the contribution of African Americans to this nation and the world.

For over a century, our conference has featured a rich program, which now includes scholarly sessions, professional workshops, plenaries, a Film Festival, and other presentations that analyze and illuminate a critical theme in the Black experience. Our 2020 virtual conference will offer attendees sessions featuring ASALH members who are prominent figures in Black cultural studies, as well as students from many disciplines.

Sessions will be on the theme and many aspects of Black life, history, and culture.

ABOUT THE THEME The year 2020 marks the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment and the culmination of the women’s suffrage movement. The year 2020 also marks the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) and the right of black men to the ballot after the Civil War. The theme speaks, therefore, to the ongoing struggle on the part of both black men and black women for the right to vote. This theme has a rich and long history, which begins at the turn of the nineteenth century, i.e., in the era of the Early Republic, with the states’ passage of laws that democratized the vote for white men while disfranchising free black men. Thus, even before the Civil War, black men petitioned their legislatures and the US Congress, seeking to be recognized as voters. Tensions between abolitionists and women’s suffragists first surfaced in the aftermath of the Civil War, while black disfranchisement laws in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries undermined the guarantees in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments for the great majority of southern blacks until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The important contribution of black suffragists occurred not only within the larger women’s movement, but within the larger black voting rights movement. Through votingrights campaigns and legal suits from the turn of the twentieth century to the mid-1960s, African Americans made their voices heard as to the importance of the vote. Indeed the fight for black voting rights continues in the courts today. The theme

of the vote should also include the rise of black elected and appointed officials at the local and national levels, campaigns for equal rights legislation, as well as the role of blacks in traditional and alternative political parties.

2021 CALL FOR PAPERS 2021 BLACK HISTORY THEME THE BLACK FAMILY: REPRESENTATION, IDENTITY, AND DIVERSITY THE 106TH ANNUAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE | SEPTEMBER 22 – 26, 2022 JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA | HYATT REGENCY JACKSONVILLE RIVERFRONT The 2021 ASALH Academic Program Committee invites proposals for individual papers, entire sessions, presentations, performances, films, round-tables, workshops, conversations, or alternative formats dealing with the 2021 theme, “The Black Family”.

The Black family has been a topic of study in many disciplines such as history, literature, the visual arts and film studies, sociology, anthropology, and social policy. Its representation, identity, and diversity have been reverenced, stereotyped, and vilified from the period of enslavement to our own time. Since family reunions and genetic-ancestry searches testify to the spread of family members across states, nations, and continents, the Black family knows no single location. Not only are individual Black families diasporic, but Africa and the diaspora itself have been long portrayed as the Black family writ large. While the role of the Black family has been described by some as a microcosm of the entire race, its complexity as the “foundation” of African American life and history can be seen in numerous debates over how to represent its meaning and typicality from a historical perspective—as slave or free, as patriarchal or matriarchal/matrifocal, as single-headed or dual-headed household, as extended or nuclear, as fictive kin or blood lineage, as legal or common law, and as Black or interracial, etc. Variation appears, as well, in discussions on the nature and impact of parenting, childhood, marriage, gender norms, sexuality, and incarceration. The Black family offers a rich tapestry of images for exploring the African American past and present.

The Academic Program Committee seeks a diverse slate of presenters and panels representing a variety of professional and institutional backgrounds, perspectives, and voices. We are interested in detailed, comprehensive, and descriptive proposals that outline the theme, scope, and aim of participants. The committee particularly seeks presentations that probe the traditional fields of economic, political, intellectual, and cultural history; the established fields of urban, race, ethnic, labor, and women’s/gender history as well as southern and western history; along with the rapidly expanding fields of sexuality, LGBT, and queer history; environmental and public history; African American intellectual history; literature; and the social sciences.

We encourage proposals from scholars working across a variety of temporal, geographical, thematic, and topical areas in Black history, life and culture. We seek to foster a space of inclusion in the ASALH program and encourage submissions from anyone interested in presenting including: historians, students, new professionals, first-time presenters, activists, and practitioners from allied professions. Deadlines for submission of proposals are as follows: Early Bird Submissions will be accepted until February 17, 2021 at 5PM (EST). Responses to Early Bird submissions will be sent out by March 6 at 5 P.M (EST). After this date, the committee will accept all submissions until the deadline of April 30, 2021. Regular Submissions will be responded to by June 15.
