We welcome donations to the Dr. Edna McKenzie Branch of ASALH as we strive to empower self-knowledge. ASALH’s mission is to create and disseminate knowledge about Black History, to be the nexus between the Ivory Tower and the global public. We labor in the service of Blacks and all humanity.
“As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching.”
About ASALH

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Dr. Edna B. McKenzie Pittsburgh Branch of ASALH, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, established in 1915 by Carter G. Woodson. We are a nonprofit organization that labors in the service of Blacks and all humanity.
The inauguration of the Pittsburgh Branch took place on October 13, 2012 and was named in honor of Dr. Edna B. McKenzie, a pioneering journalist well known for her work with the Pittsburgh Courier, and an African American History scholar and educator whose work on African Americans in Western Pennsylvania was unparalleled.
We have been blessed and privileged to host several programs that fulfill the mission of ASALH “to promote, research, preserve, interpret, and disseminate information about Black Life, History, and Culture.”
