107th Annual Meeting & Conference

The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is proud to announce a triumphant return to an in-person conference with its 107th Annual Meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, from September 29th to October 1st. The conference will feature a rich program of scholarly sessions, professional workshops, historical tours, film festival, the Author’s Book Signing series, and many other events that illuminate the importance of what some historians and health care professionals call the social and economic determinants of health and wellness. ASALH’s annual theme for 2022, “Black Health and Wellness” has never been more timely, nor more deserving of study.

Dear Conference Participants:

Welcome to the 107th Annual Meeting and Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. Our national conference, which is co-hosted by Alabama State University, focuses on the theme of Black Health and Wellness. This is a theme that is very appropriate in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that our country has experienced for the past two years. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on the health and wellness of African Americans who suffered from its effects more than other Americans. The pandemic also prevented ASALH from having inperson conferences for the past two years. So, we are here in Montgomery to declare that: We Are Back!

Although this year’s conference is in-person, ASALH is also making some sessions available to members and the public virtually. Therefore, just like last year’s conference through ASALH TV individuals can tune into some of the key sessions of the conference from anywhere in the world. This is the first time that ASALH has presented a hybrid conference and we are doing it because, in spite of the continuing existence of COVID-19 and its variances, we want as many people as possible to enjoy the great sessions of the ASALH conference that feature cutting edge scholarship, a film festival, keynote addresses by historic figures in African American history, and the participation of community leaders in Montgomery, Alabama.

There are some special highlights of this year’s conference that will engage participants. For example, we have three outstanding luncheon speakers. Bryan Stevenston of the Equal Justice Initiative will speak at Thursday’s Social Justice Luncheon. Jarvis Givens of Harvard University and author of the book, Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching, will speak at Friday’s Carter G. Woodson Luncheon. Robert G. Stanton, the first African American Superintendent of the National Park Service, will speak at Saturday’s John W. Blassingame Luncheon. Thursday’s Plenary Session will set the tone for the conference. It will feature Fred Gray, who served as Dr. Martin King’s attorney; Orville Vernon Burton and Armand Derfner, the authors of Justice Deferred: Race and the Supreme Court ; Nicole Hilary Green of Davidson College; Robert L. Harris, Jr. of Cornell University; and Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham of Harvard University and my immediate predecessor as president of ASALH. This Plenary Session and the luncheon are just a sample of the exciting sessions, tours films and plenaries that will make this conference one of ASALH’s best ever.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not thank all of the people who helped to plan, organize and make this a successful conference. I especially want to thank ASALH’s Academic Program, Marketing, National Conference Oversight and Development, and ASALH TV committees. The ASALH staff, our staff and faculty contacts at Alabama State University, and the members of the Montgomery community also deserve special “thank yous” for their assistance in bringing this conference together.

Welcome the 107th Annual Meeting of the Association for the Study ofAfrican American Life and History to Montgomery, Alabama

Dear Conference Participants,

The Academic Program Committee would like to welcome you to the I 07th Annual Meeting and Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History! We are proud to gather here in Montgomery, Alabama under the 2022 Black History Theme, “Black Health and Wellness,” which focuses on the myriad of opportunities and barriers – past and present – to the physical, emotional and mental well-being of Black communities. From the earliest encounters between Black people brought to America and western researchers and health practitioners, African Americans have fought against medical experimentation, destructive theories like eugenics, shoddy medical treatment and systemic inequities in their quest to be healthy and well.

Our first in-person conference following the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, reminds us of the impact that health inequity has on communities of color. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, data consistently show that people of color have experienced disproportionate rates of illness and death due to COVID-19, with three times premature excess deaths per 100,000 people in the US in 2020 than the rate among White or Asian people. The higher rates of illness and death among people of color reflect increased risk of exposure to the virus due to living, working, and transportation situations, increased risk of experiencing serious illness if infected due to higher rates of underlying health conditions, and increased barriers to testing and treatment due to existing disparities in access to health care.

In addition to considerations of the medical community and the physical body, the theme Black Health and Wellness lends itself to the exploration of the intersections of education, the arts, activism, politics and culture on health and wellness. As such, we have assembled panels, papers and plenary sessions that fully investigate the legacy of the quest for Black wellness, including investigations of racial violence, the struggle for civil rights and trauma that negatively impact the emotional and mental health of Black people. And we will celebrate the extraordinary resilience of Black people that continues to move our communities forward.

As we mark our 107th Conference in Montgomery, we reflect on the city’s history as the cradle of the American Civil Rights Movement and on its current legacy as home to one of the most poignant memorials, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. We are grateful to be in this place to explore the many facets of Black health and wellness with you. The Academic Program Committee leadership extends its deepest gratitude to our National President, the Vice Presidents and members of the Executive Council, the Executive Director, and all the committee chairs and heads whose hard work has made this conference possible. It is a pleasure to continue the legacy of our founder, Carter G. Woodson, as we continue to further historical research to preserve the history and culture of African Americans.

Sincerely,

Arwin D. Smallwood, Co-Chair Academic Program Committee

Recognizing the impact of community leaders

Ify Nwabukwu, Raymond Jetson and Hope Harley have enriched their communities by providing breast cancer awareness resources, building neighborhoods from within by mobilizing access to resources and educating children with history lessons beyond school books.

One person’s efforts can truly make an impact. But when our efforts drive change for the greater good, we all thrive together.

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 coworkers 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.

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 2021 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 theme for 2022 focuses on the importance of Black Health and Wellness. This theme acknowledges the legacy of not only Black scholars and medical practitioners in Western medicine, but also other ways of knowing (e.g., birthworkers, doulas, midwives, naturopaths, herbalists, etc.) throughout the African Diaspora. The 2022 theme considers activities, rituals and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well.

In the still overhanging shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, Black people should and do use data and other information-sharing modalities to document, decry, and agitate against the interconnected, intersecting inequalities intentionally baked into systems and structures in the U.S. for no other reason than to curtail, circumscribe, and destroy Black well-being in all forms and Black lives. Moreover, Black communities must look to the past to provide the light for our future, by embracing the rituals, traditions and healing modalities of our ancestors. These ways of knowing require a decolonization of thought and practice.

Alabama State University Professor & Chair

During a 2020 interview for the Kappa Alpha Psi® Journal, Professor Bryson recalled a few major achievements, changes, and signs of progress he had experienced since Alabama State College for Negroes President Harper Councill Trenholm Sr. recruited him in 1953 to become a faculty member at the college, which today is Alabama State University. According to Bryson, he “was afforded significant preparation for the English literary profession by joining and remaining active in several local, state, and national organizations .” The Association for the Study of Negro later African American Life and History was a foremost organization, and Trenholm was a principal figure in its advancement. Among other acts, he served as vice president in 1957, the previous occasion the Association convened in Montgomery. Congratulations for returning, after sixty five years, to the city where Bryson spent fifty nine years promoting the goals and executing the mission of the Association. The Luminary Award is a fitting tribute to his “outstanding work and contributions.”
