Title

Dartmouth Faculty Continues Black Studies Program, Changes Name to African and Afro-American Studies Program

Description

This announcement details the unanimous decision made by Dartmouth College to continue the Black Studies Program for another five years and change its name to “African and Afro-American Studies.” The decision was made after a year-long review by heads of Afro-American Studies at other institutions and Dartmouth’s own Black Studies council. The latter decision to change the program’s name reflected new provisions to “include Black history and culture in Africa and in the New World prior to (and) following emancipation.”
