The next annual meeting of the Association will be held in Louisville,
Kentucky, on Thursday and Friday, the 23d and 24th of November. The
day sessions will be held at the Branch Library on West Chestnut
Street and the evening sessions at the Quinn Chapel African Methodist
Episcopal Church on the same street. The management is endeavoring to
make this a national meeting effective in arousing universal interest
in the study of Negro life and history.
During the academic year 1922-1923 Mr. A. A. Taylor, formerly
Instructor in Economics at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute,
will devote a part of his time to research in the field of Negro
Reconstruction History as an investigator of the Association. The
remaining portion of his time will be devoted to the completion of
some graduate studies at Harvard University.
Mr. Taylor is a product of the Washington Public Schools and of the
University of Michigan. He is the author of two articles recently
published in THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY, namely, "Making West
Virginia a Free State" and "Negro Congressmen a Generation After." It
is expected that Mr. Taylor may find it possible to devote his future
to investigation under the auspices of the Association.
Mr. Hosea B. Campbell, who during his four years at Grinnell College
held a Julius Rosenwald scholarship, has been awarded a fellowship of
$500 by the Association to prosecute at Harvard graduate studies in
Negro American and African History.

An authorized translation into English of René Maran's _Batouala_ has
been published and is being sold throughout the United States. It is
expected that in this form the work will more thoroughly inform the
American public as to the African situation and as to the ability of
this man of Negro blood to treat it.
_Les Noirs de l'Afrique_, an historical essay on the people of Africa,
their customs and art, by Mr. Delafosse, appeared in Paris in 1921.
