Call for Papers: “At the Crossroads of Freedom and Equality: The Emancipation Proclamation and the March on Washington”

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

ASALH’s Black History Bulletin (BHB) is planning for a special issue to commemorate both the March on Washington and the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Black History Bulletin is dedicated to enhancing teaching and learning in the areas of history. Its aim is to publish, generate, and disseminate peer-reviewed information about African Americans in United States history, the African Diaspora generally, and the peoples of Africa.  Its purpose is to inform the knowledge base for the professional praxis of secondary educators through articles that are grounded in theory, yet supported by practice.  The BHB welcomes articles and lesson plans (including pullouts, ranging from teacher “how-to” to biographical and/or informational pieces about African Americans for students to read) written with a focus on:  1) middle school history; 2) high school history; 3) teacher preparation in social studies methods

Articles should be no more than 7 double-spaced pages, including endnotes. Cover letter should include the title of your manuscript, your name, your postal address, email address, phone number, and fax number. The Chicago Manual of Style must be used for citations.
