The Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies, formerly known as the Center for Afro-American Studies (CAAS), was established in 1969 at UCLA. Named after Nobel Prize winner Ralph J. Bunche, the center aims to provide a platform for educational development that is relevant to the lives and experiences of African Americans.
The center supports various research initiatives, including the UCLA Black Male Institute, the Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice, and Health, the UCLA Prison Education Program, and the Million Dollar Hoods project. Through these initiatives, the Bunche Center strives to foster a creative environment for the advancement of African American studies and contribute to the understanding of racial issues and social justice.
