Members of the AS&RC and Save Africana Committee Reach out to the Ithaca Community! Thanks to the GIAC for Sponsoring the Meeting!

This evening members of the Africana Studies and Research Center and Save Africana Committee traveled down the hill to bring the issues Africana is facing to the greater Ithaca community!  Big thanks to the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) for hosting this important event.  The meeting was packed full with leaders, lifetime and longtime residents, and ASRC alums who live in Ithaca.  We used the forum to generate ideas for collaborating with other local political and racial justice movements in Tompkins County. Please stay tuned for video footage covering the event!
