Department of African American Studies 50th Anniversary Year

On October 18, 1971, in the minutes of the Board of Trustees of Northwestern University, the Chancellor reported the “Establishment of The Department of Afro-American Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences.” All during the 2021-2022 Academic Year, the Department has been celebrating 50 years of scholarship, teaching, and service. Our celebration culminates on Friday, May 20, 2022, with the hybrid event “AFAM @ 50: Extending Our Reach.”

May 20th will serve as a day of celebrating our accomplishments and building community both on and off campus. Please use this link for more information: AFAM @ 50: Extending Our Reach
