Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Committee on Â鶹ÊÓƵ History and Memory created an app on the Bloomberg Connects platform that focuses on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s racial histories.

Janeria Easley presented her research on factors that contribute to racial disparities in intergenerational mobility at an event sponsored by African and African-American Studies at Â鶹ÊÓƵ (AAASE) and the Black Lumen Project.

The series offers participants opportunities to examine the nation’s history, reflect on Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s own story and engage in collective healing.

Through her teaching, scholarship and leadership in equity initiatives, the assistant professor of dance is expanding the visibility of traditional West African dance at Â鶹ÊÓƵ and using technology, including artificial intelligence, to make the art form more accessible.

The History and Memory Committee aims to find stories that are not currently reflected in the archives.

Members of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community are invited to commemorate Juneteenth with an in-person or virtual walking tour honoring this significant federal holiday and exploring lesser-known histories of the Black community at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

With programs scheduled for June 19 that include a walking tour and a lunch-and-learn, organizers answer questions about the historical roots and impact of a national observance that commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States.

Learn more about Black history at Â鶹ÊÓƵ through the University Archives & Special Collections online resources and physical artifacts, papers, and records.
