"Enlighten, Inspire, Empower"
Our Mission:
To facilitate the discourse on race and textualize it in the historical, cultural, and community influences that shape the diverse experiences of Blacks in America.
Established August 2012, the only one of its kind in North Texas (and one of three in the state), the Center for African American Studies (CAAS) builds on the University of Texas at Arlington's reputation as one of the most diverse institutions in the nation.
We hope to enlighten, inspire, and empower students, faculty, and community stakeholders to create progressive, collaborative solutions that drive social change within the Black community specifically and the broader society generally.
The African-American Studies Minor is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program that prepares students for critical thinking and discourse on race and contextual factors, social consciousness and awareness, and civic engagement.

Cool
It's hard to focus on the powerful pin points of his message when the beat plays loud in the background. Very distracting it was no music being played there why must we suffer playing certain parts over again just to catch what was being said. I'm just saying.
Why are black people Christians
+Kweks Peps If you are a Muslim I would appreciate it so much if you could reccomend me some books. Much love. I know I can google but I also want to hear from somebody who studies and prays regularly.
David Banner is not a Christian if that is what you are inferring
Who's genius idea was it to put music over the lecture? smh
+Da Riddler Thank you!! Its already hard for me to fully understand what is being said EVEN WITH EARBUDS ON!!! Unfortunately, Im going to have to skip this video.
+Da Riddler lmao.. pissed me off.. its loud af!
