In 2026, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) celebrates 100 years of Negro History Week and 50 years of Black History Month. Join the Philadelphia Heritage and Philamontco branches of ASALH and HSP for a public program to commemorate the history, legacy, and preservation of ASALH and its founder, Carter G. Woodson. Featuring a talk with renowned historian Dr. Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, a reading of the 2026 Black History Month proclamation, and document display, this program is the kick off to a year of celebration of the founder’s enduring work to preserve and educate the public on Black history.
