Court of African American Awareness.
The BSU Organization of Wartburg College in
1976 was continued to ensure minority/black
students be included in college campus activities.
The enrollment of Black student’s during this
time was about fifty (50) plus students. Most of
the students were from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
and Texas. A young man by the first name of
Donald was very instrumental in organizing the
activities and reaching out to other schools to
be included. Several colleges joined in such as
Luther, William Penn, Upper Iowa were Black
students were small in numbers on campus
but was open to sharing what our Heritage was
about.
