"Did you know that the Association of Black Collegians used to be located where the Farinon Student Center is currently? Or that the house used to be called the Malcolm X Liberation Center? Did you know that Angela Davis, and several other renowned activists, visited the campus to talk with ABC? Join the ABC 50th Anniversary Committee and help us to commemorate our rich and complicated history."
This is the description of the newly formed Association of Black Collegians (ABC) committee that was sent out to the ABC general body during October of 2018. What started as Historian Jovantè Anderson's '19 idea to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this organization blossomed into two summers of archival research (which included the discovery that the ABC was actually created a year earlier than we thought) and the project that you are viewing today.
Welcome to the ABC Archives Project Digital Platform! We are so excited that you will explore this site, learn more about the history the ABC and Black students at large at Lafayette College, and hopefully be moved to include yourself in this archive. The ABC Archives Project (AAP) aims to create and hold space for the preservation, remembrance, and honoring of the ways in which Black people across decades have created, sustained, and evolved through community with each other on Lafayette College's campus. We hope for this project to serve as a host for institutional memory that is and would not be otherwise recorded and as a touchstone for Black students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni to frequent for words of wisdom and the reminder that they are not the first nor will they be the last to navigate through their experiences. This project is for us, period. We reject white supremacy's culture of silence and forgetfulness, and commit to an honest record of our lives, experiences, and impact at this institution. Read more about the history and values of the AAP, as well as more about ABC.
