Introduction to African-American Studies, 1990s

This series documents the work done by the Department of African American Studies faculty both in and out of the classroom and the courses offered by the Department. The class files include course listings or descriptions and syllabi for some courses. Extensive files for the Department's summer Nubian Institutes, held in the early 1990s, are in this series. The Nubian Institute files include student applications and journals, reading packets, correspondence, and fundraising proposals. Files for individual faculty members include correspondence, professional development activities, class planning, and extra-departmental work. DVDs from the Afro-Caribbean Music Project trip to the island of St. Croix are contained in this series; the media files include interviews, performances, and student group presentations. Audio and video quality vary from disc to disc. The disc "Performance: St Croix Children's Choir" contains a performance by the St. Croix Children's Orchestra, and one disc, "Volunteers at The Boys & Girls Club," could not be opened by Archives staff. Records include correspondence, memoranda, grant proposals, syllabi, course schedules, and DVDs.
