A Welcome from the National Director
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.
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 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
