| ASALH Bookshelf The Bookshelf is a perfect way for ASALH members to sell more books while helping the Association earn up to an eight percent commission from Amazon.com! This free service will help you gain exposure and increase sales while helping ASALH generate the funds necessary to bring you such publications as the Journal of African American History, and the Black History Bulletin. The ASALH website has hundreds of visitors each month, including many historians, professors, scholars, students, teachers, community builders, and business professionals. If you are not a member of ASALH, please visit our Membership website for details on how to become one. For more information on how to post your work on the ASALH Bookshelf, please send an email to info@asalh.net with the title of your book. It's as easy as that!

| We need your help to reconnect with past members! Do you know where they are? In the past, there were ASALH Branches in the following States and Cities within these states: Arkansas (Marianna); Ohio (Shaker Heights, Columbus, Wilberforce, Toledo); Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah); New Jersey (Sickleville, East Orange (2), Mt. Laurel); Missouri (St. Louis); South Carolina (Orangeburg); Tennessee (Chattanooga); Wisconsin (Milwaukee); Delaware (Newark); Connecticut (Hartford); and Kentucky (Louisville). These branches no longer exist and we would like to revitalize them. If you live in these areas or know someone who does and may be interested in forming a branch, please contact the ASALH Executive Director, Sylvia Y. Cyrus at rlake@asalh.net. We are working to form new branches, revitalize inactive branches, or reconnect with members who we have lost contact over the years. Thanks for your help with this matter. |
| Washington, DC Membership Campaign! Dear Members: In support of the Carter G. Woodson Home and in honor of our great founder, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, we continue a major membership campaign to increase membership in Washington, DC by end of 2010. Membership drive ideas follow: (1) Purchase a membership for your friends and family members as a gift during the Holiday Season. (2) Encourage your place of worship to join ASALH as an institutional member. (3) Encourage all your friends, family, associates, and colleagues who live in Washington, DC to join ASALH by December 2010. (4) Encourage anyone you know who is part of the Omega Fraternity, Dr. Woodson's fraternity brothers, to join ASALH and encourage their chapter to join as an institutional member. Growth of ASALH membership in the District of Columbia will substantially influence the appropriations of funds to restore the Woodson Home as our leadership engages Congress to gain their support for the Woodson Home. Please join us in this major campaign to increase the ASALH membership in the District of Columbia significantly by end of year 2009. Your support is greatly appreciated. At the annual convention in 2010, an additional award will be given to the branch that influenced the most membership in the District of Columbia. We appreciate all that you do to help this very serious matter. |
