Center Ribbon Cutting
“The community and the people, this space...the African American Cultural Center is home” —Chaunda Allen, Director Office of Multicultural Affairs
On Friday, May 3, 2013 the LSU African American Cultural Center (AACC) cut the ribbon to officially open its new 5,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, which will provide a meeting and conference space, access to a cultural library, a cultural and artifact tour, internet and wireless access and equipment rental. The ceremony included several addresses, as well as a musical drum prelude by Ipiama "Mama Ama" Kwan and a libation by Nomzamo Iyanu. The original LSU African American Cultural Center was dedicated on Jan. 17, 1993, on Raphael Semmes Road in the same location as the new African American Cultural Center. In 1972 the original meeting place specifically for African-American students was located in the Harambeé House and was later relocated by the Old Christian Science Building. -Donate Here, www.lsufoundation.org , Memo Line: African American Cultural Center
