A Century of Black History CommemorationsSEPTEMBER 23-27, 2026Norfolk Waterside Marriott in Norfolk, VA (Hampton Roads)Also, if you have not done so already, please fill out the Pre-Conference Form. The link is in the sidebar and here General The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is excited to be going to Norfolk, VA, for its 111th 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 2026 Black History Month theme, A Century of Black History Commemorations, celebrates that 2026 marks a century of national commemorations of Black history. Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, George Cleveland Hall, William B. Hartgrove, Jesse E. Moorland, Alexander L. Jackson, and James E. Stamps institutionalized the teaching, study, dissemination, and commemoration of Black history when they founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) on September 9, 1915. In 1925, when Dr. Carter G. Woodson planned the inaugural week-long observance of Black history, he could hardly have anticipated the imprint he would leave on the world. From Negro History Week to Black History Month, ASALH has carried forth the tradition, and the observances have become part of the warp and weft of American culture and increasingly the global community. For our 100th theme, the founders of Black History Month urge us to explore the impact and meaning of Black history and life commemorations in transforming the status of Black peoples in the modern world.
