“ASALH is an essential link between traditional history and academic history, a wonderful bridge for people who know history but have no formal history and are looking for ways to become part of a larger experience.”

— Dr. Pearl Primus, Director Emeritus, Ossabaw Island Educational Alliance

“Working alongside ASALH members gives us purpose in this mission and community, making sure local Black history is not erased.”

— Wanda Lloyd, Journalist and Author

“I take great pride in the enduring impact of ASALH. It serves as a steward of the African American in America. I remain deeply hopeful and continuously inspired by the work that ASALH does to preserve history and culture.”

— Dr. Otis S. Johnson, Former Mayor of Savannah

Not only is the Savannah Yamacraw Branch of ASALH an indispensable resource for coastal Georgia, its leadership, members, and programs, enrich and sustain the work of The Learning Center here at Senior Citizens Inc.
— Roger Smith, Director of The Learning Center
