Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Director's Dialogue is scheduled for Thursday, March 15th, not Wednesday, as previously indicated. Respectfully, Sandra From: Sandra Phoenix Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 11:01 AM To: Hbcu-libadmin@lists.hbculibraries.org Cc: Hbcu-lib@lists.hbculibraries.org Subject: Director's Dialogue - Wednesday, March 15th, 10:00 ET Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating Dr. Carter G. Woodson. In 1915 Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). The association was created to promote and preserve African-American history and culture. He founded the Journal of Negro History in 1916. Woodson lobbied schools and organizations to participate in a special program to encourage the study of African American history, which began in February 1926 with Negro History Week and was later expanded and renamed Black History Month. He spent his life investigating, documenting and publishing African-American history. Director's Dialogue: Ten-at-Ten The next Ten-at-Ten is scheduled for Wednesday, March 15th, 10:00 - 10:15 ET.
