Summary:

This program examines the history, growth, and current status of African American heritage programs at three major Boston-area academic institutions (Harvard University, Northeastern University, and Boston University) with the objective of illustrating the perpetual obstacles Afro-studies programs face. Interviewer George Rivera speaks with Dr. Gerald Durley (a historian), Verdaya Brown (librarian for the African American Institute at Northeastern University), Gregory Ricks (Dean and Special Assistant to the President at Northeastern University), Clifford Janey (of Northeastern's class of 1969), Dr. Virgil Wood (Director of the African American Institute at Northeastern), Dr. Holly Carter (Chairman of the African American Studies Department at Northeastern), Dr. Adelaide C. Gulliver (Department Chairman for Boston University's Afro Studies Program), Professor William Worthy (Director of the dual-degree program in Afro-studies and journalism of Boston University), Dr. Martin Kilson (School of Government at Harvard University), and Dr. Badi Foster (former Afro-studies faculty at Harvard and current lecturer with Harvard's School of Education) about their programs and where they are going. Additional segments include footage of the 1979 Afro Day Rally at Harvard, an excerpt from Dr. Ewart Guinier's (former Chairman of the Afro-Studies Department at Harvard) speech at the rally, and excerpt from a performance by the Harvard Yard Kuumba Singers.
