2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Commemorations, first launched by Dr. Carter G. Woodson as Negro History Week. We are at a critical moment where we must decide in the spirit of Dr. King where America is moving toward chaos or community and we must decide what we are willing to do to turn the tide. On February 1, as we launch Black History Month, join ASALH National President and Karson Executive Director Karsonya Wise Whitehead in conversation with past ASALH National President Daryl Michael Scott, JAAH Editor Bertis English, Critical Race Theorist and Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, and other invited guests as they review where we have come from and offer suggestions for how we actively push back and push forward.
