Founded in 1979, the Association of Black Women Historians (ABWH) is a dynamic network of scholars representing every region of the country. The organization's goals are to support black women in the historical profession, disseminate information by, for and about black women and promote scholarship by and about black women. We are relaunching our organization into the 21st century. By the close of 2011 we will post our first online version of our newsletter, Truth.
The annual meeting and luncheon are held each year in conjunction with the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) conference. The 2011 conference will be held from October 5 - 9, 2011 at the Richmond Marriott | 500 East Broad Street | Richmond, VA 23219 804-643-3400 | www.marriott.com. The ABWH sponsored sessions are always enlightening and well attended and the luncheon features some of the most noted and respected scholars in the field of black women's history. I invite you to learn more about the organization and encourage you to support it by becoming a member.
Sincerely,
Ida E. Jones, Ph.D.
National Director
