WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
Africana Studies at 勛圖窪蹋 Turns 40
The rich tradition of Africana Studies at 勛圖窪蹋 four decades of educational opportunity for students to study and analyze the various disciplines from an African/African-American perspective.
The program itself went through many iterations, starting as a collection of General Studies courses offered by various faculty members. The courses were all centered on the Black experience and included topics such as music, entertainment and the law.
It was the vision and dedication of the original group of faculty members, including Distinguished Professor of Social Work Pat Reid-Merritt, that led to the establishment of the Africana Studies program. In the spring of 1983, they proposed that the collection of courses be formalized into a new topic concentration originally called Afro-American Studies, offering interested students the opportunity to earn a certificate.
