African American and Africana Studies Program Expands with New Faculty

The African American and Africana Studies (AAAS) program emerged in Fall 2011, uniting African American Studies & Research Program with Africana Studies, to create greater community presence, to provide international study opportunities in the focus area and to work toward creating an undergraduate major. In the Fall 2013, the area will expand even further, as two new distinguished faculty join the program.

Wounded survivors of the revolution find solace and healing on Ancient Creek where old Aunt Haze is the guiding spirit. This edition also includes essays about the story by Jim Wayne Miller, Kevin I. Eyster, Annalucia Accardo, and Dee Davis, founder of the Center for Rural Strategies, who will be joining Gurney at the event.
