Reading Across the Campus and Community (RACC)


This is a program sponsored by the Department since 2003 to encourage students, faculty, and the community to read, discuss and share ideas on historical events and developments  as documented by writers and schoars and their implications for contemporary society.  The objectives of RACC are

  • to encourage reading among students, faculty and the community

  • to develop reading and comprehension skills

  • to prepare students to become life-long independent learners

  • to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas across disciplines


The selected reading for this year's program is At the Dark End of the Street:  Black Women, Rape and Resistance--A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power by Danielle McGuire
