“A part of the HBCU experience for many students is a journey to self-identification, Blackness, and trying to understand the Black experience better,” said Jeanelle Hope, program director and associate professor of African American Studies. “[African American Studies] provides students with the language to understand the world around them and an opportunity to engage key theories, concepts and methods that seek to make sense of the Black experience and amplify our narratives.
Students can also minor in the field of study. The program was funded in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, an anonymous contribution and matching grant, university officials said.
