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.
Saturday ended the conference with unforgettable moments at the Awards Banquet, celebrating achievement and community. Additionally, Sunday’s Atlanta Westside and 1906 Race Massacre Tour was the perfect finale.
Be sure to share and tag your favorite moments with us!
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.
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.
