The branch structure of ASALH reflects Carter G. Woodson's
belief that our mission of creating and disseminating knowledge
about Black history could not be realized by academics alone. He
envisioned the branches as a means of extending ASALH's reach
across the country and beyond to gather primary materials about
Black history and to promote the finished results to the public
through events and organizational activities.

A Renewed Emphasis on Branches
In recognition of the importance of branches, the Executive Council
has recently taken steps to improve the experience of branch
members. Ms. Barbara Dunn has been appointed Director of
Membership Services, which includes improving support for and
communication with the branches. At the annual convention,
branches will now be recognized for their accomplishments in
meeting the ASALH mission.
