Acknowledgement Statement
AAHN acknowledges that our conference is taking place in a city with historic events that marginalized its Black residents and their descendants. To acknowledge Wilmington’s objectionable history and contribute to the community’s healing, our conference theme highlights historical inquiry that examines the significance of race and place. Historical research has the power to illuminate the past to not only help us understand the present but more importantly, to positively shape our future.
