Campus ChampionBlack history is America’s history, says Seth Asumah, a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of political science and chair of the Africana Studies Department. The organizer of the College’s Black History Month events since 1995, Asumah has spread that message near and far. Besides bringing prominent scholars and entertaining performances to campus, he has created study abroad programs in Ghana, Liberia, Kenya and Germany. Most recently, in December, he visited Germany to serve on the board of advisors for the Intercultural Migration Integration Center, lending advice on how the European nation could better integrate its black community.
