Support the SHA’s 50 for 50 Campaign
We encourage you to make a tax-deductible contribution to the SHA's 50 for 50 Campaign ($50 in honor of the SHA’s 50th Anniversary), if you haven’t done so already. The funds generated by this campaign will help support the SHA's Diversity Initiative and student endowments. With racism continuing to impact national events, it is imperative that we as an organization do our part to counter racism and bring the light of historical archaeology to the lives of the disenfranchised, lives that will otherwise remain in the shadows.
The Diversity Initiative is already underway. We have invited history department faculty and up to five students from nine HBCUs to attend the Fort Worth conference on a one day pass at no charge. We are developing web content on abandoned cemeteries that will help descendants understand how archaeologists identify and document abandoned cemeteries and the laws governing those resources. Funding from the 50 for 50 campaign will also hopefully allow us to fully endow our student awards, including the Tubman travel award, and will support the SHA’s next generation as we move into our next 50 years.
