In the spring of 1989, a group of students and a multicultural group of faculty and staff participated in a peaceful but strong demonstration on the campus of The University of Arizona. Demanding more programming designed to fit the multiple needs of the black community on campus, this group convinced the University to create the African American Resource Center. This center eventually found a home at the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center and is now known as African American Student Affairs. AASA has served thousands of students representing multiple identities over the past decades. This exhibit highlights images over the 20-year journey of AASA, capturing the many identities that are part of AASA's history.
