The Black History Bulletin (BHB) is dedicated to enhancing teaching and learning in the area of history. Its aim is to publish, generate, and disseminate peer-reviewed information about African Americans in U.S. history, the African Diaspora generally, and the peoples of Africa. Learn more about the Black History Bulletin.

In 1937, Dr. Carter G. Woodson created the BHB at the request of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, ASALH board member and founder of Bethune-Cookman University. Woodson and Bethune collaborated to create a publication that would serve the needs of teachers and general readers. They produced the Negro History Bulletin, now known as the Black History Bulletin. Read the full history.

To mark the 85th anniversary, ASALH curated two digital covers. View the Digital Covers.
