ASALH’s 2026 annual theme marking the centennial of Negro History Week, established by Carter G. Woodson in February 1926. Woodson’s founding argument, that Black history was being systematically excluded from the American record and that active institutional preservation was the only counter, is the organizing thesis for the centennial year. The ASALH source carries Woodson’s 1926 institutional founding logic as its primary documentary content.
