In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Department of African and African American Studies, formerly known as Afro-American Studies, partnered with the Harvard Alumni Association on a commemorative “Red Book,” featuring reflective essays by alumni, faculty, and administrators. All alumni who were instrumental in the founding of the department and alumni who concentrated in African and African American studies at the College/GSAS were invited to participate in this book.
This commemorative Red Book is a first for AAAS, (please read Harvard Magazine’s “Red Books, Raw Gems” to understand why the Red Book tradition is important).
A PDF copy of the AAAS Red Book is available for viewing or download. Fifty Years of African and African American Studies at Harvard, 1969–2019.
