Fifty years ago, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was organizing across the segregated South of the United States, playing a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. Half a century later, some members of the movement met at Princeton's Center for African American Studies to help create a sustained legacy preservation effort for SNCC.

Professor Daphne Brooks gave the keynote speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's American Music Masters celebration for Aretha Franklin, an event that honored the singer's 50-year career.

We're pleased to present the online version of our 2010-2011 annual report, detailing all the exciting happenings in the Center over the past year.
