Plan Ahead for African-American Studies’ Summer Trip to Jamaica

The African American Studies Program at Merritt College is once again offering an exciting  Black Consciousness Raising Study and Tour –  this time to Jamaica from July 23 to August 3, 2015. The trip coincides with the course AAS 27: Afro Caribbean History, Politics, and Culture (3 units, Summer 2015). See flyer below and for more information, contact Dr. Siri Brown, Study Tour Leader, at sbrown@peralta.edu.
