BSL is meant to reach out and connect the Black Community, and make the bonds between the various groups within the Diaspora much more salient. By making connect with our heritage, we can better understand who we are ourselves. Above that, the BSL is meant to offer a place for students to become acquainted with the University and serve as a tool to assist and make the Ivy-League experience more accessible and profound — whether through mentoring programs, socials, forums, cross-cultural events etc. It is our job to serve as the student run hub for the “Black” experience and whatever that may entail for you. While at one point it served as the active political voice on campus, it has shifted to a catalyst and facilitator to any and everything that may concern those who Americans label as Black. |
