The Wabash Avenue YMCA in Chicago provided housing as well as job training for community members and is the site of the first convening of what would become the... Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). The Association created what is now known as Black History Month. While the Wabash Avenue YMCA is no longer a Y, it is on the National Register of Historic Places, due to its importance to the Black community it served in the early 20th century. See more

We're honoring Black History Month here at the YMCA! Did you know that the month has roots associated with the YMCA? In 1915, after attending a celebration in ...honor of the 50th anniversary of emancipation, Carter Woodson convened a small gathering at the Wabash Avenue YMCA in Chicago and formed the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH). The Association created Negro History and Literature Week, renamed Negro Achievement Week, later Negro History Week and eventually Black History Month. : Kautz Family YMCA Archives
