Woodson established Negro History week in 1926, he realized the importance of providing a theme to focus the attention of the public. The intention has never been to dictate or limit the exploration of the Black experience, but to bring to the public’s attention important developments that merit emphasis.</p> <p>For those interested in the study of identity and ideology, an exploration of ASALH’s Black History themes is itself instructive. Over the years, the themes reflect changes in how people of African descent in the United States have viewed themselves, the influence of social movements on racial ideologies, and the aspirations of the black community.</p> <p>The changes notwithstanding, the list reveals an overarching continuity in ASALH–our dedication to exploring historical issues of importance to people of African descent and race relations in America.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://asalh.org/about-us/about-black-history-month/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://asalh.org/asalh-announces-2021-black-history-theme/&source=gmail&ust=1611619665518000&usg=AFQjCNFEu8sb_46lRDZZ6JP6o68ZhcmPTQ">The Origins of Black History Month</a></strong></p> <hr /> <header class="entry-header"></header> </div> </div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="entry-content"> <h2 class="entry-title">2025 THEME</h2> <p><strong>2025 – African Americans and Labor</strong></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-255399 size-medium alignright" src="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-226x300.png" alt="BHB Vol.87 No.3 Poster3 Print" width="226" height="300" srcset="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-226x300.png 226w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-771x1024.png 771w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-113x150.png 113w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-768x1020.png 768w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-1156x1536.png 1156w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-1541x2048.png 1541w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-260x345.png 260w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BHB_Vol.87_No.3_Poster3_Print-600x797.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px" /></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">The 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans, and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Indeed, work is at the very center of much of Black history and culture. Be it the traditional agricultural labor of enslaved Africans that fed Low Country colonies, debates among Black educators on the importance of vocational training, self-help strategies and entrepreneurship in Black communities, or organized labor’s role in fighting both economic and social injustice, Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. The 2025 Black History Month theme, “African Americans and Labor,” sets out to highlight and celebrate the potent impact of this work.</span></p> <p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Considering Black people’s work through the widest perspectives provides versatile and insightful platforms for examining Black life and culture through time and space. In this instance, the notion of work constitutes compensated labor in factories, the military, government agencies, office buildings, public service, and private homes. But it also includes the community building of social justice activists, voluntary workers serving others, and institution building in churches, community groups, and social clubs and organizations. In each of these instances, the work Black people do and have done have been instrumental in shaping the lives, cultures, and histories of Black people and the societies in which they live. Understanding Black labor and its impact in all these multivariate settings is integral to understanding Black people and their histories, lives, and cultures.</span></p> <p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Africans were brought to the Americas to be enslaved for their knowledge and serve as a workforce, which was superexploited by several European countries and then by the United States government. During enslavement, Black people labored for others, although some Black people were quasi-free and labored for themselves, but operated within a country that did not value Black life. After fighting for their freedom in the Civil War and in the country’s transition from an agricultural based economy to an industrial one, African Americans became sharecroppers, farm laborers, landowners, and then wage earners. Additionally, African Americans’ contributions to the built landscape can be found in every part of the nation as they constructed and designed some of the most iconic examples of architectural heritage in the country, specifically in the South.</span></p> <p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Over the years to combat the superexploitation of Black labor, wage discrepancies, and employment discrimination based on race, sex, and gender, Black professionals (teachers, nurses, musicians, and lawyers, etc.) occupations (steel workers, washerwomen, dock workers, sex workers, sports, arts and sciences, etc.) organized for better working conditions and compensation. Black women such as Addie Wyatt also joined ranks of union work and leadership to advocate for job security, reproductive rights, and wage increases.</span></p> <p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">2025 marks the 100-year anniversary of the creation of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Maids by labor organizer and civil rights activist A. Philip Randolph, which was the first Black union to receive a charter in the American Federation of Labor. Martin Luther King, Jr incorporated issues outlined by Randolph’s March on Washington Movement such as economic justice into the Poor People’s Campaign, which he established in 1967. For King, it was a priority for Black people to be considered full citizens.</span></p> <p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body"><span class="OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">The theme, “African Americans and Labor,” intends to encourage broad reflections on intersections between Black people’s work and their workplaces in all their iterations and key moments, themes, and events in Black history and culture across time and space and throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora. Like religion, social justice movements, and education, studying African Americans’ labor and labor struggles are important organizing foci for newinterpretations and reinterpretations of the Black past, present, and future. Such new considerations and reconsiderations are even more significant as the historical forces of racial oppression gather new and renewed strength in the 21st century.</span></p> <h3><strong><a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2025-Black-History-Theme-Executive-Summary-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here to download a printable pdf</a></strong></h3> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"> <header class="entry-header"> <hr /> </header> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="entry-content"> <h2 class="entry-title">2024 THEME</h2> <p><strong>2024 – African Americans and the Arts</strong></p> <p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-241579 size-medium alignright" src="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1-225x300.png" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1-225x300.png 225w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1-113x150.png 113w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1-260x346.png 260w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1-600x798.png 600w, https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Arts-Poster-1.png 738w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">African American art is infused with African, Caribbean, and the Black American lived experiences. In the fields of visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music, architecture, culinary and other forms of cultural expression, the African American influence has been paramount. African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world. In 2024, we examine the varied history and life of African American arts and artisans.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">For centuries Western intellectuals denied or minimized the contributions of people of African descent to the arts as well as history, even as their artistry in many genres was mimicked and/or stolen. However, we can still see the unbroken chain of Black art production from antiquity to the present, from Egypt across Africa, from Europe to the New World. Prior to the American Revolution, enslaved Africans of the Lowcountry began their more than a 300-year tradition of making sweetgrass baskets, revealing their visual artistry via craft.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">The suffering of those in bondage gave birth to the spirituals, the nation’s first contribution to music. Blues musicians such as Robert Johnson, McKinley ‘Muddy Waters’ Morganfield and Riley “BB” B. King created and nurtured a style of music that became the bedrock for gospel, soul, and other still popular (and evolving) forms of music. Black contributions to literature include works by poets like Phillis Wheatley, essays, autobiographies, and novels by writers such as David Walker and Maria Stewart. Black aesthetics have also been manifested through sculptors like Edmonia Lewis and painters like Henry O. Tanner.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">In the 1920s and 30s, the rise of the Black Renaissance and New Negro Movement brought the Black Arts to an international stage. Members</span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap"> </span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">of the armed forces, such as James Reese Europe, and artists such as Langston Hughes, Josephine Baker and Lois Mailou Jones brought Black culture and Black American aesthetics internationally, and Black culture began its ascent to becoming a dominant cultural movement to the world. In addition to the Harlem Renaissance, today we recognize that cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Orleans also were home to many Black artists.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">The 1960s continued this thread through the cultural evolution known as the Black Arts Movement, where artists covered issues such as pride in one’s heritage and established art galleries and museum exhibitions to show their own work, as well as publications such as </span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Black Art</span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">. This period brought us artists such as Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison, Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni and Sonia Sanchez. The movement would not have been as impactful without the influences from the broader Black world, especially the Negritude movement and the writings of Frantz Fanon.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">In 1973, in the Bronx, New York Black musicians (i.e. DJ Kool Herc and Coke La Rock) started a new genre of music called hip-hop, which comprises five foundational elements (DJing, MCing, Graffiti, Break Dancing and Beat Boxing). Hip-hop performers also used technological equipment such as turntables, synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers to make their songs. Since then hip-hop has continued to be a pivotal force in political, social, and cultural spaces and was a medium where issues such as racial violence in the inner city, sexism, economic disinvestment and others took the forefront.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">The term Afrofuturism was used approximately 30 years ago in an effort to define cultural and artistic productions (music, literature, visual arts, etc.) that imagine a future for Black people without oppressive systems, and examines how Black history and knowledge intersects with technology and science. Afrofuturist elements can be found in the music of Sun Ra, Rashan Roland Kirk, Janelle Monáe and Jimi Hendrix. Other examples include sci-fi writer Octavia Butler’s novels, Marvel film </span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Black Panther</span><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">, and artists such as British-Liberian painter Lina Iris Viktor, Kenyan-born sculptor Wangechi Mutu, and Caribbean writers and artists such as Nalo Hopkinson, and Grace Jones.</span></p> <p><span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">In celebrating the entire history of African Americans and the arts, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) puts into the national spotlight the richness of the past and present with an eye towards what the rest of the twenty-first century will bring. ASALH dedicates its 98th Annual Black History Theme to African Americans and the arts.</span></p> <h3><strong><a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-Black-History-Theme-African-Americans-and-the-Arts.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here to download a printable pdf</a></strong></h3> <div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"> <header class="entry-header"> <hr /> </header> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="entry-content"> <h2 class="entry-title">THEMES</h2> <p>2030: Black Economics</p> <p>2029: Sustaining and Saving Black Land and Property</p> <p>2028: TBD</p> <p>2027: African Americans in the Digital Age</p> <p>2026: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2026-Black-History-Theme-Executive-Summary.pdf">A Century of Black History Commemorations</a></p> <p>2025: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2025-Black-History-Theme-Executive-Summary-1.pdf">African Americans and Labor</a></p> <p>2024: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2024-Black-History-Theme-African-Americans-and-the-Arts.pdf">African Americans and the Arts</a></p> <p>2023: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2023-Black-History-Theme-Executive-Summary.pdf">Black Resistance</a></p> <p>2022: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022-Black-History-Theme-Executive-Summary.pdf">Black Health and Wellness</a></p> <p>2021: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/2021Theme.pdf">The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity</a></p> <p>2020: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2020Theme.pdf">African Americans and the Vote</a></p> <p>2019: <a href="https://asalh.org/asalhs-2019-theme-black-migrations/">Black Migrations</a></p> <p>2018: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2018Theme.pdf">African Americans in Times of War</a></p> <p>2017: <a href="https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-black-history-theme.pdf">The Crisis in Black Education</a></p> <p>2016: Hallowed Grounds: Sites of African American Memories</p> <p>2015: A Century of Black Life, History, and Culture</p> <p>2014: Civil Rights in America</p> <p>2013: At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington</p> <p>2012: President Barack Obama National Black History Month Proclamation</p> <p>2012: Black Women in American Culture and History</p> <p>2011: African Americans and the Civil War</p> <p>2010: The History of Black Economic Empowerment</p> <p>2009: The Quest for Black Citizenship in the Americas</p> <p>2008: Carter G.

Facing crowds of opposition, she courageously entered the school under the protection of four federal marshals, symbolizing a critical step in the fight for educational equality during the Civil Rights Movement. Her bravery not only captured national attention but also inspired Norman Rockwell’s 1964 painting “The Problem We All Live With”, which poignantly depicts the young girl walking to school amid signs of hate. Ruby Bridges’ actions continue to be a powerful testament to resilience and change in America’s history."> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_17933268464833151" data-date="1731517210"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCUbOQLtZ0v/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/465970478_975565414603810_4122432497430066243_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=4dT6TRIA8GgQ7kNvgEgGbyS&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AKGB_qutiKhurnKSc72yPfB&oh=00_AYAMf_9fBt3GoWNT8fuNcxIbwEAJPFEsg17wgwEV3ING-A&oe=67472525" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/465970478_975565414603810_4122432497430066243_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=4dT6TRIA8GgQ7kNvgEgGbyS&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AKGB_qutiKhurnKSc72yPfB&oh=00_AYAMf_9fBt3GoWNT8fuNcxIbwEAJPFEsg17wgwEV3ING-A&oe=67472525","150":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/465970478_975565414603810_4122432497430066243_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=4dT6TRIA8GgQ7kNvgEgGbyS&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AKGB_qutiKhurnKSc72yPfB&oh=00_AYAMf_9fBt3GoWNT8fuNcxIbwEAJPFEsg17wgwEV3ING-A&oe=67472525","320":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/465970478_975565414603810_4122432497430066243_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=4dT6TRIA8GgQ7kNvgEgGbyS&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AKGB_qutiKhurnKSc72yPfB&oh=00_AYAMf_9fBt3GoWNT8fuNcxIbwEAJPFEsg17wgwEV3ING-A&oe=67472525","640":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/465970478_975565414603810_4122432497430066243_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=4dT6TRIA8GgQ7kNvgEgGbyS&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=AKGB_qutiKhurnKSc72yPfB&oh=00_AYAMf_9fBt3GoWNT8fuNcxIbwEAJPFEsg17wgwEV3ING-A&oe=67472525"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">Ignite the spirit of the season with ASALH's new c</span> <img decoding="async" src="https://asalh.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Ignite the spirit of the season with ASALH's new candles! ✨ Choose from Cinnamon Vanilla, filling your space with a cozy, sweet aroma, or Christmas Warmth, blending festive spices for a perfect holiday vibe.

In line with the 2018 ASALH theme, “African Americans in Times of War,” we commemorate the centennial of the end of the First World War, a pivotal moment that highlights the complex experiences of Black service members from the Revolutionary War to today’s conflicts. Their stories reveal a rich tapestry of valor and struggle, encompassing the fight for rights within the military and at home, the establishment of African American Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, and the cultural contributions of the Black press and civil rights organizations. As we reflect on their courage and dedication, we celebrate the profound impact these veterans have had on both military and civil rights history.

first Black student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. Facing crowds of opposition, she courageously entered the school under the protection of four federal marshals, symbolizing a critical step in the fight for educational equality during the Civil Rights Movement. Her bravery not only captured national attention but also inspired Norman Rockwell’s 1964 painting “The Problem We All Live With”, which poignantly depicts the young girl walking to school amid signs of hate. Ruby Bridges’ actions continue to be a powerful testament to resilience and change in America’s history. </span> <span class="cff-expand">... <a href="#" style="color: #"><span class="cff-more">See
