said, as "a negligible factor" in American and world
history. While he labored with a singularity of purpose,
Woodson did not work alone. His co-workers at the
Association were many, ranging from college
presidents and government officials, to celebrated
poets and philosophers, to everyday folks in rural
hamlets. To explore the history of ASALH is to glimpse
a people's strivings, their institution building. To bring
that history to life in one's imagination is to walk with
giants. The pages attached here aim to provide such a
glimpse.
