Rutgers Cultural Center Collaborative

The Cultural Center Collaborative, within The Division of Student Affairs, is committed to supporting the needs of Rutgers’ campus communities by creating a welcoming and holistic learning environment for all members of the community, inclusive of all identities and allies. The Paul Robeson Cultural Center, the Center for Latino Arts and Culture, the Center for Social Justice Education & LGBT Comm

unities, and the Asian American Cultural Center come together to form the Cultural Center Collaborative. While maintaining distinct and individual center identities, we are grounded in a shared belief that ending one oppression requires ending all oppressions. We facilitate interactive learning, promote self-awareness, foster leadership development, encourage dialogue, and challenge traditional notions of diversity and inclusion while working with undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the New Brunswick/Piscataway community.

Join the Rutgers African-American Alumni Alliance (RAAA), Inc. and their campus and community partners, as they explore the theme “African American in the Arts” for Black History Month 2024. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd (5pm). This year, the RAAA annual showcase will mark the struggle for human rights encapsulated by the 220th anniversary of the declaration of Haitian independence, as well as the impact of Africans on Latin America with a variety of cultural performances. The evening culminates in a talk and panel featuring widely known icon, Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark, New Jersey.

The acknowledgement of Haiti’s Declaration of Independence allows us to speak to a wider history of Africans transforming the cultural and political terrain of the Americas. Through the work of various artistic offerings, this year’s showcase will examine the impact Africans made on the histories and cultures of Latin America as well as the USA.

Finally, drawing on this history of claiming a space and leveraging the Black Arts Movement legacy of his father, mayor Ras Baraka will engage in a multigenerational conversation to ask what are members of the community seeking in the run up to a historic national election.

The program acts as a showcase for various parts of the Rutgers community as many presenters are current students, faculty, staff or alumni. 5-8 pm, Rutgers Academic Bldg East
(Room 2225)
