In the midst of the turmoil, the black students of Emory decided to come together to create a safe and secure environment to express their views and foster open conversation. In 1968, the students founded the Black Student Alliance of Emory University. We, the Black students attending Emory University, in order to maintain an Afrocentric identity for the cohesiveness on Emory University campus; to promote the awareness of a conscious and diverse Black community; to educate on and celebrate Black culture and heritage from all parts of the Black Diaspora; and to serve as a forum for the study and elevation of Afrocentric ideas and goals do hereby establish this Constitution of the Black Student Alliance of Emory University.
Our organization will use the funds to not only curate engaging events for all of the Black Emory community but it will allow us to go out into the Atlanta area and make effective contributions through service events and more.
