Day 2 brought us into the heart of the conference. Rooms buzzed with panels, presentations, and conversations carrying Carter G. Woodson’s vision forward. We learned from one another and felt the power of collective scholarship in every space. Thursday reminded us why this gathering matters.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day honors the original nations whose histories span thousands of years, celebrating their resilience, cultures, and traditions. ASALH will be closed today to honor their enduring impact and contributions, and to recognize the truths that cannot be erased.

We miss our ASALH family already. It’s hard to believe it’s been two weeks since our last family reunion… we mean Annual Conference 🙌🏾 . Day 1 opened with registration and the Welcome Happy Hour, setting the stage for days of connection, scholarship, and celebration.
Friday had it all, from the Author’s Book Signing to the Boots on the Ground Reception. We captured moments with the Divine 9 and connected through panels, workshops, and sessions. It was a day of inspiration, reflection, and community, the kind only ASALH creates.
