About Us

The Association for the Study of African American Life and History is pleased to present the
ASALH Speakers Bureau.  We provide professional speakers who present on a variety of
global history topics and specialize in the African American experience.  Our bureau offers
keynote speakers for a spectrum of government, corporate and university events.

The ASALH Speakers Bureau is an important way to support our mission to promote,
research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history, and culture
to the global community. Incorporated in Washington, DC, ASALH is a not-for-profit 501 (c)
(3) organization.


What Sets Us Apart?

We offer more than just a famous face.  Our speakers are among the leading scholars in the
field of history.  Because our speakers are experts in their field, they can give engaging
presentations tailored to nearly any topic in World and American History, particularly those
which discuss the countless facets of African American life and culture.

You make a difference! Receive a phenomenal speaker and have a successful event all at the
same time
. When you book a speaker through the ASALH Speaker Bureau, half of your
speaker fee is a tax-deductable donation.  Our speakers agree to donate half of their speaker
fee to further the ASALH mission.  As a result, you have the unique opportunity to give back
and help support our 94-year legacy while having a successful event.

We mean it when we say our speakers are affordable.  The primary goal of the ASALH
Speakers Bureau is to promote, research, preserve and disseminate information about Black
life, history and culture to the global community.   As a courtesy to the community and
ASALH our speakers offer their services for thousands less than other bureaus.  We work
hard to provide you with a quality speaker the fits within your budget.
