Historically Black Colleges And Universities And Black Greek-Lettered Organizations In The “Post-Racial” Era Of Accountability, Donald Mitchell Jr., Ph.D. 2017 Grand Valley State University

Historically Black Colleges And Universities And Black Greek-Lettered Organizations In The “Post-Racial” Era Of Accountability, Donald Mitchell Jr., Ph.D.

Executives, Administrators, & Staff Publications

Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Black Greek-lettered organizations (BGLOs) are institutions and organizations that provided African Americans with options for unification and education during years of overt racial discrimination when education and socioeconomic comforts were limited for the vast majority of Americans of African descent, and they continue to serve as support structures for African Americans today.

Will Marion Cook (1869-1944) devoted his creative life to the musical stage as composer, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, producer, director, violinist, pianist, librettist and lyricist, as well as making important contributions as an author and educator. One of the foremost American musicians of his generation, and regarded by many in the African American community of his day as its leading composer, he was, in contemporary eyes, an eccentric, irascible genius of great heart. This document assembles a chronology of the principal public events of his life.
