Moving ABC Forward

Founded Fall 2003

First action held at SOCC at UCSD

The purpose of the ABC shall be political in its agenda in uniting Afrikan Black students, understanding our shared and diverse experiences, in order to produce change within and outside of educational, social, political, cultural, and economic institutions to achieve equality and advocate for the civil and human rights to safety, self-determination, and freedom of all peoples in the Afrikan Diaspora, recognizing we are our own freedom fighters.

It is the mission of the ABC to create and cultivate an inclusive system of support grounded in political activism. ABC serves to unite and educate our community, providing an intellectually challenging atmosphere rooted in cultural knowledge, expression, appreciation, and advocacy. ABC serves as a means of retention for Afrikan Black students, inspiring academic and community development through outreach within and outside of our immediate campus community.
