Alliance Annual Meeting
2022 Annual Meeting – Be the Change
Quest Conference Center, Columbus, September 30-October 1, 2022
Our conference theme, Be the Change, allows us to highlight ways that history museums can become more active in their communities and be agents for increasing justice for all through their outreach, exhibits and programs. We’ve planned a wide variety of meeting sessions, which will include presentations on recognizing and telling African-American history, strategic planning and fundraising in difficult times, building internship programs, improving your advocacy and social media strategies, caring for collections and different ways collections help you tell a story and connect to your community. This meeting is presented in partnership with the Society of Ohio Archivists.

Keynote Speaker: Professor Hasan Kwame Jeffries
Hasan Kwame Jeffries teaches, researches, and writes about the African American experience from a historical perspective. He has chronicled the civil rights movement in the ten episode Audible Originals series “Great Figures of the Civil Rights Movement,” and has told the remarkable story of the original Black Panther Party in Bloody Lowndes: Civil Rights and Black Power in Alabama’s Black Belt. Hasan has collaborated on several public history projects, including serving as the lead scholar and primary scriptwriter for the $27 million renovation and redesign of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. Hasan regularly shares his expertise on African American history and contemporary Black politics through public lectures, op-eds, and interviews with print, radio, and television news outlets, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, NPR, CNN, and MSNBC. Hasan’s commitment to teaching “Hard History” led him edit Understanding and Teaching the Civil Rights Movement, and to host the podcast “Teaching Hard History,” a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Learning for Justice division. An associate professor in the Department of History at The Ohio State University, Hasan takes great pride in opening students’ minds to new ways of understanding the past and the present.
