An entry from the 1975 issue of Madison College's yearbook portrays the new student organization, the Black Student Alliance. Formed in 1972, the BSA sought to “articulate the problems of black students,” at the college, “promote interaction and involvement in school activities,” and to “foster continuous Afro-American pride and responsibility.” Still a presence on campus today, the BSA is open to all students at JMU who seek to serve as an “advocate of the black voice on campus,” and who wants to expose JMU “to new ideas and experiences in order to create forward movement.” [Quote from Black Student Alliance Profile, https://beinvolved.jmu.edu/organization/bsa/about ]
