Today, we held a meeting of the members of the South Florida brand of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). ASALH South Florida is three years old. Although we are a fledgling chapter, we are determined to continue our chapter’s efforts to promote Black history.

COVID-19 struck one of our members, Anita McGruder, who survived! Other members have been on lockdown and have not been able to visit other family members.

Charlene Farrington is exhibiting the Jazz art collection of Dr. Joan Cartwright at Spady Cultural Heritage Museum in Delray Beach, Florida, through the month of February 2021.

We will be doing several Zoom presentations at Broward College:

November 5 – Tameka Hobbs

November 24 – Charlene Farrington and Dr. Joan Cartwright

February 2021 – Jazz with Dr. Joan Cartwright

April 2021 – Oral History Conference

We will continue to recruit new members. To join our branch, you must be a member of National (www.asalh.org) and click here to pay local dues.
