Student Association for Black Unity (SABU)
The Student Association for Black Unity (SABU) was founded in the winter of 1971 and has continued to evolve with campus culture over the last 50 years. This research guide contains materials that focus on the inception of S.A.B.U. (1971-1985) and its connection with the present campus community. The collaboration with living founders of S.A.B.U., as well as affiliated alumni and students, is critical to expand on and provide context for existing archival documents during this time period. This research is part of a broader effort to document histories of the Black experience at W&L more holistically through community engagement and it remains ongoing.
