The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is a non-profit organization founded in Chicago, Illinois, September 9, 1915 by Carter G. Woodson and Jesse E. Moorland.[link] The association is based in Washington, D.C..
ASALAH's official mission is "to promote, research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture to the global community."
The ASALH created Negro History Week in 1926. The modern observance has increased in duration and is known as Black History Month . It publishes The Journal of African American History (formerly The Journal of Negro History), and the Black History Bulletin (formerly the Negro History Bulletin).
