Several decades ago, students barricaded themselves inside of Willard Straight Hall with the intention of securing institutions that would allow them to flourish within the confines of a predominately white university…
Their courage, initiative, and vision paved the way for the establishment of the Office of Minority Educational Affairs, the founding of Ujamaa Residential College, the rebuilding of the then recently burned down Africana Studies and Research Center (which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year), and brought the topic of equality to the forefront of the experience at Cornell…
Now, 41 years after their efforts, we, the Executive Board Members of the African, Latino, Asian, and Native America Programming Board, ask you to join us as we honor the intentions of their actions, and we highlight the perspectives and experiences of women pertaining to this event.
