After 15 years of discussions, the University of Colorado Boulder announced the opening of a new Center for African and African American Studies (CAAAS), also called “The Cause”.
The center will focus on research, visual and performing arts, and student services. University administrators told Denver7 it will be also open to anyone looking to learn more about Black culture.
“If we make African American studies accessible to a wider audience, we would often be amazed at how other folks would respond to our history, to our culture, to our struggle,” said Reiland Rabaka, the new director of the center.
