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 ] Subject The topic of the resource Madison College, African Americans, students, student organizations, Black Student Alliance, BSA Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived JMU Yearbook Collection Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available James Madison University Libraries and Educational Technologies Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource For information on publishing or citation of an item in a non-educational, fair use context, please contact Special Collections.
