Part of the BMC 2020 Five Years Later Remembrance Event - This Teach-In stresses the need for a Black Studies major to support students’ intellectual development.

The Black Studies major Plenary resolution, written by Elliot London ‘28 and supported by Angelique Lee ‘27, Kaili Martinez-Beasley ‘27, Zara Kepler ‘28 and Celia Perkins ‘29, outlines a plan involving a name change from Africana Studies to Black Studies, establishing an official major within the department, and hiring two new professors with specializations in Black Queer Feminist scholarship. The student leaders have also worked closely with Assistant Professor Paul Joseph López Oro, Director of the Africana Studies Program at Bryn Mawr, to create the proposal.
