The conference is scheduled to be held on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22, 2009 in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. The Theme of the conference is "Black History: Full Disclosure." Participants are encouraged to present papers, introduce original documentaries, form panels, and conduct workshops.
Scholars, professional and avocational historians, genealogists, librarians, archivists, authors, and graduate students from the United States and other countries are encouraged to submit proposals based on previously unreported or underreported black history and culture. Individuals engaged in the preservation of black history at historic sites, museums, or historical societies are also encouraged to submit proposals. In addition to African American history, proposals within the realm of the African Diaspora that include Africans in Europe, Africans in Canada, Africans in the Caribbean, and Africans in Central and South America are of particularly interest to the AAAHRP Conference Committee.
