The UIC Black Cultural Center (BCC) in Chicago, IL, formerly known as the African American Cultural Center (AACC), has recently undergone a significant name change to better reflect the diverse experiences of its campus community. This change signifies a shift towards a more inclusive and global perspective, embracing the diasporic histories, experiences, and cultures of people of African descent from around the world. Led by Director Cynthia Blair, the BCC aims to gather, learn, share, and explore these diverse histories and traditions through exhibits, programs, and events.
In addition to the name change, the BCC has also undergone substantial remodeling to create a revitalized space that launches a new era for the center. With a focus on inclusivity and community, the BCC seeks to occupy a prominent place on the UIC campus, providing a platform for dialogue, celebration, and understanding. Through upcoming events such as Black Heritage Month, Open Mic Nights, and Black Table Talk, the BCC invites students, staff, faculty, and the wider community to engage in the rich cultural experiences and conversations fostered by the center.
