Black Student Activism<\/h3>\n

This online resource exposes archival evidence of Black student activism as it exists in the University Archives at Emory University. There are pieces of evidence of student life and activism in the form of correspondence, newspaper articles, memos, and reports, though the overall priority has long been to document official records of the university. Records of student groups exist in the University Archives but are not as robust as the records and archival materials of programs, departments, offices, administrators, presidents, trustees, etc. In fact, there are few records documenting the Black Student Alliance itself; and were it not for the\u00a0folders here and there and copies of correspondence in some collections, the organization and its activities would be hard to trace through the archives alone. There are bureaucratic, legal, social, and cultural reasons for gaps in documentation, which the University Archives are currently trying to address by collecting student group records, conducting oral histories with students from underrepresented groups, and promoting engagement with materials like the ones found here. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The materials presented here are not exhaustive but represent months of searching, reading, citing, digitizing, and compiling. It is the hope that those who take the time to closely read these materials will have a more complete picture of what it took for Black students to make change at Emory and be inspired to further engage through research.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_facebook type=”button_count” css_animation=”bounceInLeft”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2769″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Black students protest at the entrance to Cox Hall in 1969.
