Scholarship, sisterhood, service – black women in African American fraternities
When twenty-two young Black women came together at Howard University to form Delta Sigma Theta sorority, their goal was to focus on scholarship, sisterhood, and service to the African American community.

Holding on to African American history
For decades, white institutions and a handful of historically Black college and university (HBCU) archives have served as the main repositories for document and artifacts that tell the story of the history and contributions of people of African descent.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama Jamie Fleming is like other non-traditional college students in several ways. He has a strife and a nineteen-month-old son.

Gone Fishin.’ – book reviews
Gone Fishin’, the first-written and latest-published of Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins novels, may well be his finest work. Written in 1988, the book is a complex work with layers of meaning, yet it is deceptively simple and therefore easy to read and completely absorbing. Perhaps that is one of the marks of a classic.

What’s in a name? African American or multiracial? – defining one’s self
The most important thing any oppressed people can do for themselves is to define who they are. Identity begins with naming yourself, in finding your own voice. This is the reason that names have always been significant to African Americans.
