AAAHRP Brings Black History to the Public

Many talk about presenting real Black History, but the Association for African American Historical Research and Preservation actually does it! So join us on February 3, 2007, when AAAHRP holds its 4th Annual Black History Conference, and discover more Black History in one day than you'll find during years of research.

The conference theme is "The Black Experience: Presenting History's Hidden Pages
(Previously Avoided, Dismissed, Forgotten, Submerged, or Unknown)." Over 60 historians, independent scholars, and educators will travel from across the nation and across the seas for this one-day conference at Seattle University to uncover those hidden pages for you at the AAAHRP 4th Annual Black History Conference.

The AAAHRP 4th Annual Black History Conference will feature 20 different sessions that include presentations of research papers, panels and workshops. In addition, the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Violet Malone, Professor, Emeritus, Western Washington University will give a dynamic talk which you won't soon forget!
Here's a small sample of what you can expect at the one-day conference (please click http://www.aaahrp.org/html/conference_news.html for a complete listing of conference presenters):

Jacqueline Bacon, Independent Scholar, San Diego, California: "'Useful Knowledge of Every Kind': Freedom's Journal, the First African-American Newspaper (1827-1829)"

Brent Campney, Ph.D. Candidate, Institute of the Liberal Arts - American Studies, Emory University: "William Boland Townsend and the Struggle Against Racial Violence In Kansas, 1888-1901"

Adriana Parada, Educator, Foundation for the Support of Research of the Federal University of the State of Goiás, Brazil: "A History of the Kalunga People"

Laura Turner, Historical Writer/Researcher, Office of History and Preservation, U.S. House of  Representatives, Washington, DC: "Delivering the Forty Acres and a Mule: Black Representation in the United States Congress, 1870-1901"

Leah M. Wright, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of History, Princeton University: "The Madness of Marcus Garvey: Early Twentieth century Black Organizational Solidarity as a Reaction to the Garvey Movement"

How much does it cost to attend this all-day Black History conference? Not the $300.00 you would normally expect! Not even $200.00! How about $100.00? No, not even $100.00!

Because AAAHRP believes in bringing Black History to the general public, you can attend the AAAHRP 4th Annual Conference for only $60.00. Your $60 registration covers all paper sessions, panels, and workshops at the conference. By the way, this low fee includes the Keynote Address and the evening buffet. 

But if you could save even more money, wouldn't you do it? Well, you can! 
Register by mail before the conference date and your all-day conference fee is only $45. (Only $25 if you are a senior, 60 and older, or a student.) For details and mail-in registration form please click http://www.aaahrp.org/html/registration.html.   

I hope to see you at the AAAHRP 4th Annual Black History Conference at Seattle University on February 3, 2007. Don't delay, register today!
