What is an African: Oxford-Style Debate
Date: Postponed
Where: TBD
Organized by the Center for African Education, Teachers College

Our final event will take place in the form of an Oxford-Style debate. In this event, we will be discussing claims versus reality in cultural, philosophical and aesthetic expressions of African identity. Specifically, we will be asking the following questions:
"Why do some blacks in the Americas claim to be African while others do not?"
"Who supports and who denies these claims and to what end?"
