Location: Campus Center Lower Patio

What is Black Solidarity Day?
Originated in 1969, Black Solidarity Day is an annual event that
is held the day before national elections. With the intent of
demonstrating the power that African and Black Americans have as
a people when they stand unified in solidarity against
injustice, the day calls for us to reexamine our ties and
alliances to one another and other communities. Marked by the
political, social and economic consequences that would ensue
were we to not participate in the American system for one day,
the day also encourages us as members of the Black and
African-American communities to abstain from making grandiose
purchases, so that our collective presence may be felt across
the country. In doing so, we peacefully oppose racism, social
and civil injustice while forcing a recalcitrant society to
address the issues affecting our community. Please come out in
all black or Pan-African colors of Green and red) and support
PAA and this day, TUFTS day of BLACK SOLDARITY. Keynote
Address by,
Dr. Peniel Joseph, Professor of History African American,
