African Student Programs 40th Anniversary: Rivera Lobby

The UCR Libraries are hosting an exhibition during the month of February in the Tomás Rivera lobby by the UCR office of African Student Programs documenting the history of the African American student experience at UC Riverside. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the African Student Programs office. This "time capsule" display is the work of researcher Ed E-Nunu and students Rickie Ohiri, Letia Solomon, Renee Manson, Stacey Hartnett and Mahogany Blank.
