ABSTRACT
In 2002, Black Issues in Higher Education published an issue that focused on Black culture centers (BCCs) on college campuses. The cover article, “Black Culture Centers: Standing on Shaky Ground,” raised important questions regarding the continued presence and relevance of BCCs in higher education. These questions included the following:
Whom should cultural centers serve? And how? What should they be called? Add in culture and costs, and the next question to arise is, should there be a cultural center for every sizeable ethnic group on campus? (Hefner, 2002, p. 22)
