The AHA was originally headquartered in Yellow Springs, Ohio, then San Francisco, California, and, in 1978, Amherst, New York.
Along with its reorganization, the AHA began printing The Humanist magazine. In 1941, Curtis Reese led the reorganization and incorporation of the "Humanist Press Association" as the American Humanist Association. Upon ordination these ministers were then accorded the same rights and privileges granted by law to priests, ministers, and rabbis of traditional theistic religions. In July 1939, a group of Quakers, inspired by the 1933 Humanist Manifesto, incorporated the Humanist Society of Friends as a religious, educational, charitable nonprofit organization authorized to issue charters and train & ordain its own ministry. īy 1935, the Humanist Fellowship had become the "Humanist Press Association", the first national association of humanism in the United States. They identified humanism as an ideology that espouses reason, ethics, and social and economic justice. Signatories included John Dewey, but the majority were ministers (chiefly Unitarian) and theologians. The first Humanist Manifesto was issued by a conference held at the University of Chicago in 1933. The New Humanist was published from 1928 to 1936. In 1928, the Fellowship started publishing the New Humanist magazine with H.G. In 1927, an organization called the "Humanist Fellowship" began at a gathering in Chicago.
