Text from the California Eagle reads: OPEN LETTER January 22, 1923 Mrs. C.A. Bass, Editor The Eagle 824 Central AVe. Los Angeles, Cal. My dear Mrs. Bass: I feel that you will be interested in letting the public have a brief resume of the achievements of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History during the past year. I am, therefore, sending you today an extract setting forth the most important facts in the annual report of the Director. Anything which you may do to give this publicity will be greatly appreciated by the undersigned. Very truly yours, C. G. WOODSON, Director
Carter G. Woodson ended his 1923 open letter with the following paragraph: "The interest manifested in the study of Negro History in clubs and schools has been very encouraging. Most of the advanced institutions of learning of both North and South make use of The Journal of Negro History in teach social sciences. The Director's two recent works, The History of the Negro Church and The Negro in Our History are being extensively used as textbooks in classes studying Sociology and History. The enthusiasm of some of these groups has developed to the extent that they now request authority to organize under the direction of the Association local bodies to be known as State Associations for the Study of Negro Life and History. Respectfully submitted, C.G. WOODSON, Director."
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of #BlackHistoryMonth, was the co-founder & director of ASALH. He sent this open letter to newspaper editor #CharlottaBass to inform Angelenos about the work of #ASALH. She published his letter in the California Eagle (Feb 1923): archive.org/details/la_c... #BHM100
