The combination of scholarly and protest motives in the work of the Association
is seen in its statement of purposes and achievements (taken from the inside cover of
The Journal of Negro History for January, 1942):
“Its purposes:
1. To collect sociological and historical data.
2. To publish books on Negro life and history.
3. To promote the study of the Negro through clubs and schools.
4. To bring about harmony between the races by interpreting the one to the
other. . . .
“Its achievements:
1. It has directed the attention of investigators to this neglected field.
2. It has extended the circulation of The Journal of Negro History and The
Negro History Bulletin into South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
3. It has published twenty-seven volumes of articles and documents giving facts
which are generally unknown.
4. It has produced twenty-nine monographs on Negro Life and History.
5. It has organized and stimulated the studies of local clubs and classes, which
have done much to change the attitude of communities toward the Negro,
6. It has collected thousands of valuable manuscripts on the Negro which have
been made accessible to the public in the Library of Congress.
7. It has had thirteen young men and women trained for research in social
science and for instruction in colleges and universities.”
The protest purpose of the Association is more revealed in its annual meetings and
in its other activities than in the Journal,
Lawrence Reddick, “A New Interpretation for Negro History,” The Journal of
Negro History (January, 1937), p. 17.
