Legacies: Whose University?
Description
An account of the resource
This collection discusses the lasting impact of Project 500 on the University of Illinois campus, its institutions and curriculum. In the 1970s, African American students at the University of Illinois were the first minority group to fight for an active presence on campus. Project 500 allowed the UIUC campus to become more diverse and open to non-white students. This collection discusses some of the more contemporary aspects of African American presence at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Some of these legacies include the Afro-American studies program and the African American Cultural Center. Elements such as these have paved the way for things like the Native American Cultural House and development in minority studies. Today, SEOP continues at UIUC through organizations like the Office of Minority Student Affairs, or OMSA. Organizations like these allow non-white students to receive any extra support that they might need at the U of I.
We can see now that Project 500 had some wonderful lasting effects. But is there more? What else can be done at UIUC in order to make the campus even more diverse?

University of Illinois
Description
An account of the resource
This graph shows the increase in the minority population of undergraduates at the University of Illinois since the creation of Project 500. The enrollment increases steadily throughout the 1970s and 80s. The biggest increase comes in the Asian American demographic, most likely due to the diasporic movement of Asian Americans from the West Coast to the Midwest. The Latino population has been steadily increasing most likely due to immigration. As a whole, however, the minority population has leveled off over the last two decades. The African American community at the University of Illinois has actually begun to shrink relative to the size of the University. No one is quite sure why this is, only that it could be an issue in the future and could call for action at a later point.

Description
An account of the resource
The "Habari Newsletter" began circulating in 1984, because the African Studies program began to flourish at this time. This publication started as a text-based, newsletter for African American alumni. Initially, it primarily discussed programs on campus and contained a letter from the department director. As time went on, this newsletter evolved. The last physical publication (pictured on the left above) was in 2009-2010, and the newsletter is now entirely virtual (and can be found <a href="http://www.afrst.illinois.edu/habari/">here</a>). "Habari" now features local artwork, interviews with African Studies professors and other experts, and articles on a variety of subjects--including articles that profile the fascinating places that African Studies researchers go.

Song: "Refuge" by K. Edward Copeland & Ollie Watts-Davis
The University of Illinois Black Chorus was founded by four music-loving students in 1968. Later, in 1969, the chorus was co-sponsored by the School of Music Choral Division and the African-American Cultural Program.
Now, the UI Black Chorus is a very well-respected program, made up of students, staff and community members. This group has performed around the entire country, with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra and at the National Black Gospel College Choir Workshop.

Legacies: Whose University?
Description
An account of the resource
This collection discusses the lasting impact of Project 500 on the University of Illinois campus, its institutions and curriculum. In the 1970s, African American students at the University of Illinois were the first minority group to fight for an active presence on campus. Project 500 allowed the UIUC campus to become more diverse and open to non-white students. This collection discusses some of the more contemporary aspects of African American presence at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Some of these legacies include the Afro-American studies program and the African American Cultural Center. Elements such as these have paved the way for things like the Native American Cultural House and development in minority studies. Today, SEOP continues at UIUC through organizations like the Office of Minority Student Affairs, or OMSA. Organizations like these allow non-white students to receive any extra support that they might need at the U of I.
We can see now that Project 500 had some wonderful lasting effects. But is there more? What else can be done at UIUC in order to make the campus even more diverse?

Cultural Centers Today
Description
An account of the resource
"In 1969 the African American Cultural Center was created with the two-fold purpose of assisting the University in providing a safe and welcoming environment for African American students and a resource to the campus at-large regarding African American contributions and issues."
This quote from the homepage of the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center helps lay out the purpose of the Cultural Center. After initially being criticized for being ineffective (top), the African American House began to be known as a true cultural center. The success of the student unity that this institution brought (center) helped to spark the creation of other Cultural Centers as well. La Casa followed in 1974. The Asian American Cultural Center (bottom) was founded in 2005 and the Native American House followed shortly afterwards.
