The Association for African American Historical Research and Preservation (AAAHRP) held its 2009 Black History Conference at Seattle University last weekend. It was the organization's final conference in Seattle, as future conferences will be held in other states. AAAHRP conferences have evolved from a local history conference to an international event. The 2009 conference attracted historians and scholars from across the nation, and other countries including Brazil, Ghana, Mexico, and Namibia. More than sixty experts will be in Seattle to share their knowledge of black history at the conference this coming weekend. For more information on the group go to www.aaahrp.org
