General

The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is excited to be going to Atlanta, GA, for its 110th Annual Meeting and Conference to celebrate the annual theme of African Americans and Labor. The conference will contain paper panels, session panels, workshops, roundtables, plenary sessions, a poster session, and a film festival. 

About Theme

The 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Indeed, work is at the very center of much of Black history and culture. Be it the traditional agricultural labor of enslaved Africans that fed Low Country colonies, debates among Black educators on the importance of vocational training, self-help strategies and entrepreneurship in Black communities, or organized labor’s role in fighting both economic and social injustice, Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. The 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” sets out to highlight and celebrate the potent impact of this work.
