After several months of programming and usability testing, the Center for Black Studies Research is pleased to introduce its new website. The new site is designed to be accessible to users with screen readers or other assistive technologies. Over the coming months, the Center will be phasing out the previous version of the site and developing additional components of the new design. Planned additions include a search feature and online ordering. We welcome your input and thank you for your patience during the transition.
