First sentence: This chapter elucidates the myriad ways "Africa" has been preserved and perpetuated in the rituals, public accounts, and service projects of black Greek-letter organizations (BGLOs).
Description: "This book explores the past and future of the nine black Greek-letter organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and places the history of these organizations in context, linking them to other movements and organizations that predated them and tying their history to one of the most important movements of United States history - the civil rights struggle."--BOOK JACKET.
