ABOUT

ABOUT US.

Ask People About UsAssociation of Pan-African Unity (APAU) is a cultural organization at Mount Holyoke College (MHC) that serves as a safe space for students who are of the African Diaspora and individuals who believe and support the traditions, philosophies and values of APAU. Our objectives are to: a.) provide an atmosphere of community and concern within the organization so that the Mount Holyoke College (MHC) experience may be a positive one. b.) act as a cohesive unit addressing problems that are common to the group and its members. c.) celebrate and educate ourselves about the cultural and regional diversities of our members.d.) initiate and sustain communication with the organizations that embrace similar goals.e.) help the MHC community gain understanding of the backgrounds, problems, and relevant developments particular to people of the African Diaspora both within and outside the MHC community.f.) continually celebrate and affirm the aspects of our identities of which the African Diaspora is part. BRIEF HISTORYThe Afro-American Society was founded by twenty-five Black Mount Holyoke students in 1967. In 1980, the Afro-American Society changed its name to "Association of Pan- African Unity". In a document written by a former chair, she wrote, "the change was necessary in order to express the true diversity of Black People in this area. Our new name symbolizes our purpose to enhance the cultural existence of all black people on this campus and in the surrounding area." Today, members of APAU continue to strive towards the fulfillment of their objectives with the power their name embody.BETTY SHABAZZ CULTURAL CENTER The Betty Shabazz Cultural Center, established in 1973, provides cultural space for students of African descent. Originally known as the Matha Rolston Perkins Cultural Center, in 1980, the name of the center was changed to the Betty Shabazz Cultural Center in order to honor the wife of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X. APAU's general meetings are held in the Betty.GENERAL MEETING TIMESunday 3:00 - 4:00 PM (BI-WEEKLY)BOARD MEETING TIMEThursday 8:30 PM (WEEKLY)
