Each February, we recognize and celebrate the culture and history of African Americans and the pioneers, educators, and activists of past, present, and future that continue to advocate for racial equality in the United States.
Author and historian Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 as well as the observance of Negro History Week, which began February 7, 1926. Now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, ASALH strives to honor and celebrate the millions of African Americans today and all those that paved the way before them.
