Dear Conference Participants: Welcome to the 103rd Annual Meeting and Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History! As we gather in Indianapolis, we do so under the 2018 national Black History Theme, “African Americans in Times of War,” and in commemoration of the centennial of the end of the First World War—the Armistice of 1918. We are reminded that ASALH was founded

by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1915 during that very war, which originally engulfed Europe in 1914 and into which the United States entered in 1917, inspired by the slogan “to make the world safe for democracy.”

The many sessions, as well as keynote speakers, plenaries, Film Festival, tours, luncheons, and Saturday night banquet provide the opportunity to honor the men and women who served in every capacity and in every branch of our national military from the Revolutionary War to the War against Terrorism today. Equally important, this rich conference program provides the opportunity to reflect upon the racial discrimination and injustice experienced in military and civilian life in the centuries-long history of efforts to bring racial equality to America, thus striving to make our own homeland safe for democracy. Indeed the First World War instilled in the minds and hearts of African Americans the conviction to continue the fight for democracy. In 1918, W.E.B. Du Bois declared: “We return. We return from fighting. We return fighting. Make way for Democracy! We saved it in France, and by the Great Jehovah, we will save it in the United States of America or know the reason why.”

The ASALH leadership extends its deepest gratitude to the co-chairs and members of the Academic Program Committee, the chair of the Ad-Hoc National Conference Oversight Committee, the chair, coordinator, and members of the Local Arrangements Committee, the volunteer coordinator and the many volunteers, the Film Festival Committee, the Social Media Committee, and the entire ASALH staff. All that is illuminating and fulfilling in this 103rd conference can be attributed to your long hours of service.

On behalf of all the officers and the Executive Council, I extend my sincere appreciation to the individual donors, corporate sponsors, the Honorary Conference Chair and members of the Host Committee. Your generosity makes possible the ability of ASALH to assert with confidence year after year the experience and historical contribution of persons of African descent to the United States and the world.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Susan Simms Marsh, Esq. Dr. Edna Greene Medford Dr. Annette C. Palmer Dr. Janet Sims-Wood Dr. Gladys Gary Vaughn

CALL FOR PAPERS

2019 BLACK HISTORY THEME: BLACK MIGRATION 104TH ANNUAL MEETING AND CONFERENCE OCTOBER 2 – 6, 2019 EMBASSY SUITES BY HILTON IN NORTH CHARLESTON, SC. The 2019 ASALH Academic Program Committee invites proposals for individual papers, entire sessions, presentations, performances, films, round-tables, workshops, conversations, or alternative formats dealing with the 2019 theme, “Black Migrations.”

ASALH’s 2019 theme Black Migrations emphasizes the movement of people of African descent to new destinations and subsequently to new social realities. While inclusive of earlier centuries, this theme focuses especially on the twentieth century through today. Beginning in the early decades of the twentieth century, African American migration patterns included relocation from southern farms to southern cities; from the South to the Northeast, Midwest, and West; from the Caribbean to US cities as well as to migrant labor farms; and the emigration of noted African Americans to Africa and to European cities, such as Paris and London, after the end of World War I and World War II. Such migrations resulted in a more diverse and stratified interracial and intra-racial urban population amid a changing social milieu, such as the rise of the Garvey movement in New York, Detroit, and New Orleans; the emergence of both black industrial workers and black entrepreneurs; the growing number and variety of urban churches and new religions; new music forms like ragtime, blues, and jazz; white backlash as in the Red Summer of 1919; the blossoming of visual and literary arts, as in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Paris in the 1910s and 1920s. The theme Black Migrations equally lends itself to the exploration of the century’s later decades from spatial and social perspectives, with attention to “new” African Americans because of the burgeoning African and Caribbean population in the US; Northern African Americans’ return to the South; racial suburbanization; inner-city hyperghettoization; health and environment; civil rights and protest activism; electoral politics; mass incarceration; and dynamic cultural production.

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.

We encourage proposals focusing on research, teaching, and public education that broadly addresses our theme and related aspects of the global Black experience as creatively as possible. Our theme is the opening of opportunities for scholars working across a variety of temporal, geographical, thematic, and topical areas in Black history, life and culture.

We are interested in proposals that probe the theme and related topics within the fields of economic, political, diplomatic, intellectual, and cultural history; the fields of urban, rural, race, ethnic, labor, and women’s/gender history; the rapidly expanding fields of sexuality, LBGTQ, and queer history; environmental and public history; and cultural studies including literarure and the visual and performing arts.

Deadlines for submission of proposals are as follows: Early Bird submission deadline for individual papers and organized panels is April 1st. After this date, all individual and panel submissions will be accepted until the deadline of April 30th.
