The history of Wright State University's Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center can be traced back to the first days of Wright State, and its role in the University's mission has expanded over the decades. A small group of Black students came together and worked tirelessly to advocate to have their voices heard and concerns addressed. These actions by Wright State's Black students led to the creation of the Bolinga Center in 1971. Please join us at this celebration to meet the founding alums and learn more about the rich history of the Bolinga Center and the impact the center has made and continues to make at Wright State.
