Black Scholar"Founded in 1969 by Robert Chrisman and Nathan Hare, THE BLACK SCHOLAR is the first journal of black studies and research. In TBS, academics, activists, artists, and political leaders come to grips with basic issues confronting Afro-America, the Diaspora, and Africa. While a paucity of intellectual spaces focused on black thinking remains, due in part to the impact of TBS, Black/Africana Studies and its sub-disciplines have become legitimate spaces of scholarly inquiry." Relaunched in June 2012.
