This year's collection showcases the scholarship and intellectual contributions dealing with the complex issues of race and the Black experience. It spans more than three decades, going back to 1995. This collection consists of scholarly works, innovative research projects, and thoughtfully crafted video presentations from all areas of our university. Together, they offer a window into the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and justice in understanding the experiences and needs of this community while reflecting on our institution's Maranist values of service, justice, and peace.
