Dear Conference Participants: It is my great honor to welcome you to the 104th annual conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) in Charleston, South Carolina. And what a wonderful place to meet. No city in the United States has a richer African American heritage. The 2019 ASALH theme “Black Migrations” carries profound symbolic meaning in the context of the history of Charleston and the state of South Carolina in regard to physical and cultural migrations and the journey to freedom. ASALH is ever mindful of the way the city itself exemplifies with sharp historical clarity the long and diverse journeys of all African-descended people in the United States. We love you, Charleston! African American life in Charleston begins with the story of the forced migration of Africans during the Middle Passage. The largest number of enslaved Africans came into America through the port of Charleston. Migration continued to define Charleston’s African American life in other significant ways. We find in Charleston evidence of cultural migration in the form of rice cultivation, music, basket-making, the Gullah language and traditions, and blacksmiths’ ironwork that reflect African roots. The journey from enslavement to emancipation, made possible by the Civil War, began in Charleston at Fort Sumter. After the war, African Americans here in 1865 were the first to recognize what would become Memorial Day in honor of the Union dead. Black churches and their congregations have traveled through time in this city from the days of Denmark Vesey to Mother Emanuel AME Church today. Across time, black Charlestonians and other South Carolinians have fought for racial equality through the courts, civil rights activism, union organizing, and through their votes. Yet, this freedom journey is far from over. As James Weldon Johnson put to verse: “We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered.” We meet in Charleston in 2019 to reaffirm our history of 400 Years of Perseverance along the stony roads of America. And in remembrance of Charleston’s martyrs to racism in June 2015, we commit ourselves to the centuries-long journey to freedom and justice for all. The ASALH leadership extends its deepest gratitude to all who have made our 104th conference possible. The president and members of the Charleston branch of ASALH as well as the coordinator and members of the Local Arrangements Committee, the Chair and members of the Host Committee, and the many volunteers have worked with tremendous zeal and commitment to make possible this exciting and inspiring conference. The co-chairs and members of the Academic Program Committee, the Film Festival, the chair and committee members of the ASALH National Conference Oversight Committee, Social Media Committee, and the entire ASALH staff have tirelessly planned and met over the past year to make this conference intellectually stimulating and personally enjoyable. Finally, with heartfelt appreciation, we thank the individual and institutional donors, the corporate sponsors, and our Conference Honorary Chairs, whose generosity on so many levels enable ASALH to tell the story of the contribution of people of African descent to the United States and world. Sincerely,

Mr. Moses Massenburg Dr. Edna Greene Medford Dr. Annette C. Palmer Rev. Anita M. Shepherd Dr. Gladys Vaughn

Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham ASALH National President

2019 BLACK HISTORY THEME: BLACK MIGRATIONS

Explore Charleston and the City of North Charleston welcome ASALH for your 2019 Annual Convention. We invite you to experience the sites, sounds, people, flavors and traditions found only in Charleston, South Carolina.

Dear Conference Participants, The Academic Program Committee would like to welcome you to the 104th Annual Meeting and Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History! We are proud to gather here in Charleston, South Carolina under the 2019 National Black History Theme, ‘’Black Migrations” which spotlights the movement to new destinations that subsequently changed the social, political and economic realities for Africans and African descended peoples. These shifts in thought, location, religious practices and exposure to new peoples shaped and framed the vastness of their migration experiences. The migration patterns of Africans and African descended peoples included relocation from southern farms to southern cities; transition from the South to the Northeast, Midwest, and West and from the Caribbean to US cities; along with emigration to Africa and Europe. These multifaceted migrations resulted in a more diverse and stratified interracial and intra-racial population amid a changing social and cultural milieu. Migrations cultivated grassroots social justice organizations throughout the rural South through the urban North and the burgeoning Midwest; The emergence of both Black industrial workers and Black entrepreneurs coupled with the growing number and variety of faith based spaces and new music forms like ragtime, blues, and jazz helped temper responses to both government edicts and social customs that were designed to inhibit the opportunities migration appeared to promise many. The theme Black Migrations equally lends itself to the exploration of other spatial and social perspectives, with attention to “new” African Americans because of the burgeoning African and Caribbean population in the US; African Americans’ return to the South; racial suburbanization; inner-city hyper-ghettoization; health and environment; civil rights and protest activism; electoral politics; mass incarceration; and dynamic cultural production. 2019 also marks the commemoration of “400 Years of Perseverance” against enslavement. As such, we have assembled panels and papers that more fully interrogate this legacy of cultural and human theft and forced migration while honoring the resistance and resilience of black people throughout the diaspora. As we commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the arrival of Africans in North America, it is most fitting that we do so here in Charleston, South Carolina. Most recently, Charleston was the site of the culmination of America’s never ending battle with an unreconciled past on June 17, 2015 when worshippers at the historic Mother Bethel A.M.E. fell prey to the lingering sickness of known as white nationalism. Home to a diverse and vibrant African-American population and to one of the largest free black populations in the antebellum period-- we mark our 104th Conference and the “Year of Return” in this city--both a bellwether for our times and a crucible of American and African-American history. The Academic Program Committee leadership extends its deepest gratitude to our National President, the Vice Presidents and members of the Executive Council, the Executive Director, and all the committee chairs and heads whose hard work has made this conference possible. It is a pleasure to serve this grand organization and help in some small way to realize the vision of our founder Carter G. Woodson--in the 21st Century, and well into the future. We hope you will be inspired, encouraged, informed and enthralled with all that we have planned for you. Onward!

CONGRESSMAN JAMES E. CLYBURN WELCOME LETTER

Greetings, On behalf of the Local Arrangements Committee, we extend a warm welcome to the members of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and our dear friends to the 104th Annual ASALH Meeting and Conference in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Many of you were here in 1996 when we hosted the 81st Annual ASALH Conference. We are elated that a large number of you have chosen to return to the area and we are very proud to introduce this special place to our first time visitors. It is especially significant that we are meeting in Charleston and its surrounding area to examine the 2019 theme, “Black Migrations,” given the area’s unique connection to the topic. The South Carolina Lowcountry received more Africans than any other in North America during the era of the Atlantic slave trade. In the early twentieth century, Black Carolinians comprised a major part of the Great Migration northward. While you are here we hope that you will take full advantage of the historic sites and amenities. Many reflect the long history of our nation and afford the opportunity for you to contemplate the formidable role that the African American presence has played in shaping it. During the planning of this conference, we were inspired by the words of Carter G. Woodson in which he wrote from his book MisEducation of the Negro, “real education means to inspire people to live more abundantly, to learn to begin with life as they find it and make it better.” We believe that we have followed this directive and so, we are expecting great things to come October 2-6, 2019. Important innovations have been made in the program and there will be an array of enjoyable, rewarding and unique experiences. We are elated that you have decided to attend this year’s conference. The coordinator and members of the Local Arrangements Committee, as well as, our volunteers and partners have made every effort to extend our hospitality, so that your stay will be productive and memorable. Finally, we hope that what you hear, see and do will further instill the knowledge and passion for the work that our founder undertook over a century ago. May Carter G. Woodson’s vision always live on through our cherished ASALH and may your good efforts always nurture the vision. Sincerely,

Julia-Ellen C. Davis Co-Chair, ASALH Local Arrangements Committee

Digital Humanities, Digital Africana Studies and Afrofuturism in Practice

In the last t wenty years, graphic novels and comics have marked a significant shift in both audience and medium, making both worthy of intellectual inquiry. "Paneling Blackness" (Vol. 4.2) focuses on the ways these literary genres explore "Blackness." "Imagine the Odds: Digital Humanities, Digital Africana Studies and Afrofuturism in Practice" (Vol. 5.1) takes the subject of Black life further to embrace the study of Afrofuturism in its broadest meaning.

104TH ANNUAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE | OCTOBER 2-6, 2019 | NORTH CHARLESTON, SC

MARY MCLEOD BETHUNE SERVICE AWARD IDA E. JONES Dr. Ida Jones was introduced to ASALH in 1993 when she was a graduate student at Howard University. In the 1994 she worked at the ASALH headquarters with Mrs. Irena Webster and Mr. William Simons processing institutional publication orders, as well as, assisting the Associated Publishers liaison Dr. Richlyn F. Goddard fulfilling orders for Black History kit materials. She also volunteered over five years with the Black History Month luncheon committee under the leadership of Dr. Walter B. Hill. When ASALH sold the 14th street building, Dr. Jones assisted in packing up materials and sorting materials on site at Bowie State University. Starting in 1995, she worked tirelessly with others to publish the Negro History Bulletin. During her tenure with the Negro History Bulletin 1995-2004 she worked with Dr. Cynthia Neverdon-Morton, Dr. Ibrahim Kargbo and other members of the Coppin State University History Department. From the Moorland Spingarn and Howard University Archives she obtained photographs, solicited data for articles and encouraged institutional subscriptions to the ASALH publications. Through her work, outstanding claims were fulfilled and the Negro History Bulletin became a stream of income. She contributed to ASALH on many levels including: strengthening the use of visuals for the Black History theme materials; the creation of a ten year strategic plan with Dr. Gloria Dickerson; and, soliciting articles for publication from 2002 to 2008. Dr. Gloria Dickerson selected her to complete the term of an Executive Council member who—because of health challenges— had to vacate their seat. After serving by appointment, Dr. Jones was elected twice to the ASALH Executive Council where she served on the awards committee with Dr. Edna McKenzie, the human resources committee with Reverend Richard Adams, the Woodson House committee with Dr. Bettye Gardner and assisted ASALH secretary Robert Haydn on two occasions. Throughout her service to ASALH, Dr. Jones became involved with a number of Branches. In recent years, she has committed herself to being an advocate for Branch membership and revitalization. She joined the Bethel Dukes Branch in 1998 and continues her membership as the Branch president. She is also linking HBCU students to local Branches to create bilateral community and conversation. In the spirit of Dr. Bethune, Dr. Jones served in leadership with Association of Black Women Historians. Following the example of ABWH founder Dr. TerborgPenn, she holds life membership in both ASALH and ABWH and unceasingly crusades for both organizations.

DR. BRENDA R. SIMMONS-HUTCHINS Dr. Brenda Simmons-Hutchins is an educator and ASALH member for over 24 years. She is a founding and charter member of the James Weldon Johnson Branch of ASALH and she was instrumental in the establishment of the branch in 1995. Dr. Simmons-Hutchins is co-founder and developer of the Jacksonville Black History calendar. There have been 30 publications from 1989 to the present and Dr. Simmons-Hutchins has been instrumental in developing each calendar. The calendar chronicles the life and legacy of African Americans on the First Coast of Florida. Throughout the volumes of the calendar, she has captured the national Black History Month themes and added local flavor thus deepening the public’s understanding of the local heroes, heroines and everyday life and living. The calendar chronicles the way African Americans live, work, play and educate our people. The calendars have recorded spiritual grounding and mentorship of the next generation. The Jacksonville Black History Calendar has received accolades from many sources including the 2016 designation from the City of Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission. All issues of the calendar have been digitized and can be referenced online through the Jacksonville Public Library. Through the participation of Dr. Simmons-Hutchins on the recent Jacksonville Task Force on Civil Rights, the calendar was a valuable resource for dates and events. Dr. Simmons-Hutchins retired from Florida State College of Jacksonville in 2008 after a 37 year association with the institution as a student, faculty member and administrator. During her career, she administered and successfully implemented programs designed to recruit and retain African-American students at the institution. Dr. Simmons-Hutchins has an interest in writings by and about Zora Neale Hurston and other Black women writers. Her dissertation entitled “Humanistic Influences in Two-Novels and One Book of Folklore by Zora Neale Hurston,” further documents her interest in Florida’s premier novelist. Dr. Simmons-Hutchins is the author of articles on student success and student retention and has published literary critiques. She is an active retiree with continuous community leadership with the James Weldon Johnson Branch of ASALH since 1995.

2019 BLACK HISTORY THEME: BLACK MIGRATIONS

FREEDOM SCHOLAR AWARD DR. TIFFANY G. B. PACKER Dr. Tiffany G. B. Packer is Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Political Science at Florida A&M University. A 2012 graduate of University of North Carolina Greensboro, she is the creator of the project K(no)w Justice, K(no)w Peace (KJKP) which reminds its audiences of the humanity of victims of state violence and demonstrates the impact of historical interpretation in public settings. The only exhibit of its kind KJKP is visited by thousands and engages college students as curators and as leaders; they facilitate local panel discussions on police brutality and its effects on communities of color. Dr. Packer is the recipient of the American Historical Association 2018 Equity Award. This award is bestowed annually upon individuals and institutions who have demonstrated an exceptional record in the recruitment and retention of students and new faculty from racial and ethnic groups under represented within the historical professions.

DR. SARAH LEWIS

Dr. Sarah Lewis is a scholar activist of the highest quality. Receiving her PhD in Art History from Yale University in 2015, she is an assistant professor in the African and African American Studies and in Art and Architectural History at Harvard. A highly renowned scholar already, she incorporates into her life’s work the importance of art and justice. Her work includes scholarly articles and motivational writings for public audiences. She has given a TED talk and many community-based speeches. An art historian, she writes for the academic sector as well as for a public readership as is demonstrated by her successful anthology, The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery (2014). The Rise has been described as a rich trove of reflections not just on creativity but on the too-often ignored role that failure and surrender play in almost any ambitious undertaking. Dr. Lewis combines art history and social justice and teaches her students to understand the historic roots and contemporary outgrowth of the crucial function of visual literacy for justice in American civic life, for example, her award-winning “Vision & Justice” issue of the photography journal Aperture (May 2016). The New York Times review of this issue celebrates this issue is an amazing compilation by various contributors, including Lewis, who speak on the meaning and role of visual imagery in African American history. Her activism was showcased in a stellar way, when she hosted a conference this spring at Harvard called Vision and Justice: A Creative Convening. Having been the recipient of a large grant from the Ford Foundation, Lewis’ conference on April 25-26, 2019 featured how the question of justice relates to past and present image-making of African Americans by ourselves and others. Her concern with the political and cultural manifestations of visuality dominated the presenters talks. Their presentations explored and generated public engagement with ideas and activities that will further work in art and justice around the country, e.g. sessions on Race, Justice, and the Environment, Monuments, Cultural Narratives and Media, and Mass Incarceration. The program included a star-studded array of speakers and topics, including Darren Walker of the Ford Foundation and Elizabeth Alexander of the Mellon Foundation; a performance by Carrie Mae Weems; a conversation about the Central Park Five, the forthcoming miniseries by Ava DuVernay and Bradford Young, with Henry Louis Gates Jr.; a performance by Wynton Marsalis; a talk by Mona Hanna-Attisha, who discovered the Flint, Michigan, water crisis; Jelani Cobb; and the closing keynote by lawyer and director of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson. Through Sarah’s vision, the event also launched the inaugural Gordon Parks Foundation Essay Prize and give a monetary prize annually for the best essay on visual art and justice in the context of racial equity.

104TH ANNUAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE | OCTOBER 2-6, 2019 | NORTH CHARLESTON, SC

COUNCIL AWARD OF SPECIAL RECOGNITION REPRESENTATIVE JAMES CLYBURN Representative James Clyburn---On November 28, 2018, James E. (Jim) Clyburn was unanimously elected by his colleagues to serve as Majority Whip in the 116th Congress of the United States House of Representatives. When Jim Clyburn came to Congress in 1993, he was elected copresident of his freshman class and quickly rose through the leadership ranks. In addition to serving as Majority Whip in Congress, he has served as Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Vice Chair and Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, and Assistant Democratic Leader. As a national leader he has championed rural and economic development. Many of his initiatives have become law. His 10-20-30 federal funding formula was inserted into four sections of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The formula directs 10 percent of appropriated funds to communities where 20 percent or more of the population have lived at or below the poverty level for the past 30 years. Clyburn’s article on the program was published in the Harvard Journal on Legislation. The formula was subsequently inserted into 15 appropriation accounts by the Republican Speaker of the House. Representative Clyburn is a passionate supporter of historic preservation and restoration programs. His initiatives have restored scores of historic buildings and sites on the campuses of historically black colleges and universities. His legislation created the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor and the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor. He authored legislation that elevated the Congaree National Monument to a National Park, and the model legislation for President Obama’s proclamation which established the Reconstruction Era National Monument in South Carolina’s Low-Country.

DAVID L. AND YVONNE B. ACEY Dr. David L. Acey and Ms. Yvonne B. Acey have for thirty- three years worked tireless as the creators of the Africa In April Cultural Awareness Festival in Memphis, TN. Using a multiplicity of media this event embraces the mission of the festival- education, economics, cultural, fashions, arts/crafts, music, history, tourism and cuisines surrounded by a Vendor’s Marketplace. Also, as members of ASALH, the Aceys formed a partnership with the Memphis Branch of ASALH to continue advancing, engaging, promoting, researching, preserving, interpreting, disseminating information reflecting the legacy, history, heritage and culture of the African Diaspora. Additionally, they have incorporated and implemented the philosophy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “The Father of Black History”, a pioneer and trailblazer who opened doors to African American equality, justice, freedom, inclusion, humanitarianism and respect regardless of race, creed or color. Several of Woodson’s famous quotes substantiate the importance of culture, Black History, education, traditions, understanding and remembering our roots, and contributions to world civilization. A “Portrait Of ASALH”, The Aceys and Africa In April Cultural Awareness Festival represent a journey together collaborating and engaging a mission with passion and vision emphasizing a continuous educational, historical, cultural connections and a quest for knowledge and self- identity. Important keys and road maps necessary for a successful journey include academic excellence, accurate/ correct African American History, understanding heritage, documentation, preserving/ensuring our culture, developing cultural repositories, healthy life styles, celebrating memories of heroes or heroines.

DOROTHY WESLEY PORTER AWARD DR. CHARLES L. BLOCKSON Dr. Charles Blockson’s passion for books and history began at early age and blossomed into him amassing one of the largest private collections in the world related to people of African descent. In 1984, Dr. Blockson donated this collection of rare publications and artifacts to Temple University, which now contains more than 500,000 items. He co-founded the African American Museum in Philadelphia and has contributed historical items to archives and museums in Pennsylvania and DC. He has authored twelve books and is working on more. He retired from Temple in 2006 and continues to serve as Curator Emeritus of The Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection. Dr. Blockson called his late mentor and friend, Dr. Dorothy Porter Wesley; “Queen Mother of African American Bibliophiles.” Porter once stated; “All the collectors that I have known have indeed been bibliophiles, since the term bibliophile means simply ‘love of books.’ It seems to me that the two words, collectors and bibliophiles, are interchangeable.”

Help Preserve Mother Emanuel AME Church

HELP SUSTAIN THIS HISTORIC LANDMARK PLEASE DONATE For construction repairs checks may be sent to: Emanuel AME Church 110 Calhoun Street Charleston, SC 29403 Please write â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church constructionâ&#x20AC;? in the memo section of your check.

Established in 1816, the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is the oldest AME church in the Deep South and a historic symbol of faith, community building, and resistance to slavery and racism. The church, built in 1891, exemplifies Gothic Revival architecture. Retaining its original altar, communion rail, pews, and light fixtures, the church is one of only a few unaltered religious interiors in Charleston, SC. Emanuel AME church is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Help is needed to sustain this historic landmark for future generations.

Help Build the Emanuel Nine Memorial

SHOW THE WORLD THAT LOVE LIVES ON The Emanuel Nine Memorial will be dedicated to the lives and sacrifices of the Emanuel Nine, the clergy and church members who were murdered in 2015 at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The churchyard is being redesigned to create a sacred space to honor those slain, and a garden space to honor the survivors.

PLEASE DONATE

The memorial will reflect the powerful and inspiring way the Emanuel Nine family members relied on the bedrock of their faith to reverse the spread of hate with a message of unyeilding love and forgiveness.

Mother Emanuel Memorial Foundation P.O. Box 242 Charleston, SC 29402

Portrays Three Indelible African American Pioneer Sheroes Who Ventured to the Black Hills in Dakota Territory in the Late 1800’s Mary Kercherval and her young son, Charley, worked for the Custers at Fort Leavenworth before he was called to fight the Ku Klux Klan in Kentucky. While in Leavenworth, Mary and her family became homeowners. Lured by the possibility of a better life, Mary joined her sons, purchasing relinquished homesteads and settling on Centennial Prairie near Spearfish, South Dakota.

Mary Kercherval

Sarah Campbell

Sarah Campbell was the first documented nonNative woman to the Black Hills with the Custer Expedition of 1874. Aunt Sally was favorite to be interviewed by newspaper reporters. However, one unscrupulous reporter put his own name on the claim of her gold discovery instead of its rightful owner. She later returned to the Black Hills to find “everything that was good on this here earth.” She filed at least five more claims.

Lucretia Marchbanks

Lucretia Marchbanks was a remarkable woman who worked at a variety of hotels and boarding houses. “Aunt Lou” Purchased and operated the Rustic Hotel in the Sawpit Gulch near early Deadwood. Even after selling her business it was still called, “Aunt Lou’s.” A savvy businesswoman, she proved up her homestead and retired comfortably in Rocky Ford, Wyoming.

As a member of the National Association for Interpretation and the South Dakota Humanities Council, Joyce Jefferson discovered these sheroes, researched, and portrays the lives of these women. Learn about Blacks in the Black Hills Contact

The heartbreaking story of America’s first identical quadruplets, their rise to fame and use as advertising symbols, and the damage done to them and generations of African American families.

An investigation of how U.S. cultural anthropologists wrote about race, racism, and “America” in the twentieth century was a window into the greater project of U.S. anti-racist liberalism.

MONTHLY REVIEW PRESS

The music we call “jazz” arose in late nineteenth century North America—most likely in New Orleans—based on the musical traditions of Africans, newly freed from slavery. Grounded in the music known as the “blues,” jazz expressed the pain, sufferings, and hopes of Black folk then pulverized by Jim Crow. Gerald Horne’s Jazz and Justice examines the economic, social, and political forces that shaped this music into a phenomenal U.S. —and Black American—contribution to global arts and culture. This is the story of a beautiful lotus, growing from the filth of the crassest form of human immiseration. “What does it mean for descendants of enslaved people to create a music embraced by the world and still be treated as second-class citizens, exploited, dehumanized, and subject to premature death? By following the money, the managers, the musicians, and the bodies, Gerald Horne gives us an enthralling view of jazz history from the underside. An essential contribution to our understanding of how racial capitalism shaped American music.” —Robin D. G. Kelley, author, Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an

2020 CALL FOR PAPERS 2020 BLACK HISTORY THEME: AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THE VOTE 105TH ANNUAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE | SEPTEMBER 23 – 27, 2020 MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA | RENAISSANCE MONTGOMERY HOTEL & SPA AT THE CONVENTION CENTER The 2020 ASALH Academic Program Committee invites proposals for individual papers, entire sessions, presentations, performances, films, round-tables, workshops, conversations, or alternative formats dealing with the 2020 theme, “African Americans and the Vote.” The year 2020 marks the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment and the culmination of the women’s suffrage movement. The year 2020 also marks the sesquicentennial of the Fifteenth Amendment (1870) and the right of black men to the ballot after the Civil War. The theme speaks, therefore, to the ongoing struggle on the part of both black men and black women for the right to vote. This theme has a rich and long history, which begins at the turn of the nineteenth century, i.e., in the era of the Early Republic, with the states’ passage of laws that democratized the vote for white men while disfranchising free black men. Thus, even before the Civil War, black men petitioned their legislatures and the US Congress, seeking to be recognized as voters. Tensions between abolitionists and women’s suffragists first surfaced in the aftermath of the Civil War, while black disfranchisement laws in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries undermined the guarantees in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments for the great majority of southern blacks until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The important contribution of black suffragists occurred not only within the larger women’s movement, but within the larger black voting rights movement. Through voting-rights campaigns and legal suits from the turn of the twentieth century to the mid-1960s, African Americans made their voices heard as to the importance of the vote. Indeed the fight for black voting rights continues in the courts today. The theme of the vote should also include the rise of black elected and appointed officials at the local and national levels, campaigns for equal rights legislation, as well as the role of blacks in traditional and alternative political parties. The Program Committee seeks a diverse slate of presenters representing a variety of personal and institutional backgrounds, perspectives, and voices. We are interested in proposals that probe the theme within the traditional fields of economic, political, diplomatic, intellectual, and cultural history; the established fields of urban, race, ethnic, labor, and women’s/gender history as well as southern, Appalachian, and western history; and the rapidly expanding fields of sexuality, LBGT, and queer history; environmental and public history; African American intellectual history; carceral state studies; and transnational and global studies across all fields, topics, and thematic emphases. We seek to foster a culture of inclusion in the ASALH program and encourage submissions from anyone who is interested in presenting, including students, new professionals, first-time presenters, and those from allied professions. We seek to foster a culture of inclusion in the ASALH program and encourage submissions from anyone who is interested in presenting, including students, new professionals, first-time presenters, and those from allied professions.
