What's Goin' On?

What's Goin' On? is a monthly community forum sponsored by the student branch of the NAACP that interprets Black socio-political issues from an Afrocentric perspective. It provides opportunity for a candid and spirited discussion of such topics as the career and ideology of Barack Obama, the history and philosophy of the reparations movement, and the political significance of Hispanic immigration for the Black community.  What’s Goin’ On? also offers a platform for exploring such volatile issues as Black/White student dating, and campus racism and discrimination.
