Established in 1967, four years after the first Black undergraduate students were admitted to Duke, the Afro-American Society was created to support Black students as they faced the challenges of attending a previously segregated institution. In 1971, the organization was renamed the Association of African Students (more commonly referred to as The Association), and in 1976 they assumed their present title, the Black Student Alliance (BSA). The group has had many publications throughout its long history, including Prometheus Black, Revelations, The Talking Drum, Weusi za Weusi, and Harambee (which are available in the Black Student Alliance Records at the University Archives).
Showcased here is the 1993 February Black History Month issue of Revelations, a celebration of Black love through poems, student interviews, and Valentine cards.
