Hosted By

John L. Warfield Center for African and African-American Studies, and Fire & Ink, Incorporated



Since its inception at the University of Texas at Austin in 1969, the John L. Warfield Center for African & African American Studies (until May 2008 formerly known as the Center for African and African American Studies) has been a focal point for campus and community life around the cultural, sociopolitical, economic, and historical experiences of Africans and their descendants.

In collaboration with other University departments, centers, and schools, the Center seeks to establish an activist intellectual community that considers the processes of race, gender, culture, and power operating within and upon Black communities.
