Sunday, May 18, 1997 was a special day for all of us in the
Providence College Program in Black Studies. Our very first group of students
to earn minors in Black Studies graduated with the Class of 1997. |

"The Black Studies Program here at Providence College
is the product of strong initiative and hard work by the Black student body
on campus. I am very proud and honored to have been involved in the process
of getting the program implemented; it has shown me that goals can be accomplished
if they are pursued with whole-heartedness and perseverance."

"When I came to Providence College as a freshman
I decided that I wanted to be involved in Black Studies because I felt that
it would enable me to do something about the problems of racism and oppression
in our society. Through education about one another and understanding how
and why we are where we currently are in society, we can see more clearly
what has to be done to attain peace through justice in this country and
this world."
