Black Student Organization Case Study

“The Black Studies Program: Strategy and Structure” was published Fall of 1972 in The Jounal of Negro Education. It’s contents are a relection on the years before when colleges and universitys were allowing African Americans to attend , but did not provide curriculum about or for African Americans.

1) From the soical workers point of view and being apart of the National Association of Black Social Workers I can see why she would not baby boy Hakim to be place in a white home, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In the article of National Association of Black Social Workers they state that a black boy living in a white home they would not grow up with a postive racial identity. That they would not get the proper needs and attention that they would in a black family home.They say that ethnicty is everything and the child being in a white home the family may not know how to do their hair properly and then either moving to a nieghboorhood that is segergated or preparing the neighborhood that they will be a trans racial family. So for Mrs. Johnson, the social worker, looking out for baby Hakims well being is only helping him be put in the right family that would help him identify his ethnicity and no confusion with race identity.

The University of Mississippi has its share of racial issues, which result in bad media coverage and lessening the number of diverse students even more. The University of Mississippi has recently had an incident involving race which ended with a protest and the voluntary withdrawal of a student. The use of the peaceful protest made the University become aware of the severity of the racial comment. The use of protests are to demand that colleges be aware and to demand punishment for the racial crime committed. Peaceful Protest usage seem to result in positive outcomes such as within the situation at the University of Missouri. This situation involved “racial inequality and the lack of action from university authorities” (Rhoden). The unfair treatment of a minority and lack of punishment for the racial matter caused the students to begin protesting. Regular students began protesting but with

The creation of programs and departments in black studies was a common demand of protest and sit-ins by minority students and their allies. There is the third demand that black colleges relate more to the black community. With that being said we understand more because we (as the black community) are self-centered and is only worried about what’s going on with us so we lack knowledge of black studies being on white campuses and who it is taught by.

I think that your third one would be a huge draw for black students on campus. There is a group that I know of that is centered on social justice issues concerning black people in America. I think that if we were able to get the flier and word out ( we could use those screens that usually advertise events on campus), there should be some willingness to participate from the group. I think the BSU would also be interested in this as well as the black fraternity and sorority. I know we can reach the greek students through Deborah (from bible study) and we can reach the BSU through Kandra (on the choir). I know Che (on the choir) is in the group I wrote about earlier and I also have the group leader's contact info if you need it. Concerning the panelists, we could invite Pastor Eric Mason, Pastor Terry Davis or his wife Pastor Pamela Davis and Pastor Gregory Ross. I'm not sure if you would be interested in having a more diverse group of panelists or if you'd prefer to have just black panelists since the topic is geared towards black students.

For the Social Justice Action Project, Britnee and I interviewed college students in the Northeast region who revealed their views on the Black Lives Matter Movement, racial injustice, and racial profiling. We had wanted to inform people of what the Black Lives Matter Movement stood for and tackle some of the myths and misconceptions of what the organization represented. In the process, the interviewees have expressed their feelings of how today’s society is blinded by irrational thinking and biased beliefs. This project have made us realize that people often blame the movement of being inconsiderate to all lives matter, relating the movement to the “armed and dangerous” Black Panthers, and the never-ending issues of police-to-black killings.

I am writing this email with a heavy heart and sadness this morning and requesting help in problem-solving this academic situation. As I read the mission statement for our university which states the primary goal is to “create a dynamic learning environment that promotes a student’s success.” The mission statement further says, “enhance the learning experience” so they can engage with their communities.

The Latino Student Organization will began its inaugural year in 2015, but had a provisional start in the fall of 2014. The organization started when former Latino Student Organization president Melody Martinez and Dr. Carlos Aleman, an Assistant Professor of Latin American History saw a large number of Latino students and the lack of what every heritage needs to thrive, a community. That is why together they created The Latino Student Organization, or LSO. A place where students latino and non latino can come together and establish a family or una familia. “I love being a part of an organization that really makes me feel part of a family away from my family”, said former President Melody Martinez. The LSO is more than creating a family for

Blow asserts that African Americans aren’t getting enough attention from the college administrators. Accordingly, he states that the reason being is because when there are racial episodes going on at colleges, the leaders do not attend to the problem in a timely matter. Now the black community is fed up and is protesting for justice. Blow starts off with an account from Ebony G. Patterson, an artist, and professor, who stated that, “the black body is a site of contention” (Blow 3). To justify the meaning of the phrase, it means that black bodies are a battlefield because they are constantly fighting against themselves to make white folks comfortable. In other words, black people are feeling as if they do not obtain freedom because the administrators are not making movements towards making colleges safe for them. Blow states that the time of placidity is at an end. Meaning that blacks will not tolerate it anymore. Young black folks are “refusing altercation or the mollification of conformity and are simply demanding justice”, said Blow (Blow 9). Reason being is because black people believe that white people should accept them how they are. Nonetheless, he makes it clear that black people aren’t dealing with

In today’s society, family has become a very relevant issue amongst Black Canadians. Ideally, Blacks would enjoy having a nuclear family as most would however, in many cases immigrants often have transnational families which sometimes results in children having single parents. Not only does this put them at an economic disadvantage, this also leaves children without a true sense of security and family, which according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, prohibits them progressing towards meeting all of their needs. Moreover, in the educational realm, Black students are adversely impacted by the scarcity of identifiable Black role models within their own schools. This in part impacts their future as “Most Black youth have a great deal of trouble

Hello, I am first year student at California State University, Los Angeles. Recently in my Pan-African Studies class I have read your article “Black Study, Black Struggle”. Overall your work shined some light about the struggle that many black students enrolled in universities face. I would like to comment on your description of black students, mentioning those who feel under or misrepresented on college campuses in addition to those who have even received threats from other colleagues. This has opened my eyes to not believe what is presented on the surface of a university because that is a false perception of what truly happens on campus and to start looking within the student body. You mention in your debate that, The modern university,

Black education is an important part of history. At first, there were no schools for them. Thanks to the help of activists, people now have desegregated Schools. It was not easy to reach that goal, though. Activists like Ruby Bridges faced many challenges along the way.

“Civil rights” as a term feels outdated and outmoded and officially ended with the voting rights act of 1965 and the civil acts right of 1968, which overcame legal barriers to equality. Since then, movements like the black lives matter focuses on the unwritten inequality, like the pervasive micro insults that millions of african americans face each day. It's not surprising that race still divides our nation, especially considering that slavery was only ended 150 years ago. The new direction is to address additional cultures and lifestyles into the conversation, and the people who will change the future are alive right now. College campuses are where progressive ideas are forming all around the world. With the time, resources and motivation

Has the black community ever had a black leader or leaders? In 2015 I feel the black community needs leaders to guide us to a higher place in society in the 2nd millennium. But first the black community need to understand what a true leader is and how to embrace a true leader. Also The Black community has to understand what previous leaders have done for us in the past to continue to push the envelope further for us to have opportunities we have now. 2015 is the year we try to get a council of new leaders to help the black community in areas we are lacking due the fact we are not being well represented in politics and economics.

Initially, #BBUM was used by a small group of black students from UofM’s Ann Arbor campus. As the campaign picked up steam, a broader public of black students of universities across the nation began tweeting their similar experiences of being the “token” or feelings of exclusion. The #BBUM campaign not only allowed people to connect and discuss but also invited participants and spectators to reflect upon black student activism in past years on college campuses across the
