UCSB: Blueprint for Black Power

The Afrikan Black Coalition Conference is an annual conference hosted at one of our partner schools during MLK Day Weekend. The ABC Conference now serves over 800 Afrikan/Black students across the State of California. Since its inaugural year in 2003, the forum has continued to be used to address social and political issues facing the community through peer and professional workshops, keynote speakers, and social activities. After being held at every UC campus and following the induction of CSU partners, California State University, Long Beach was the first CSU campus to host the conference, which was held in January 2017 during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Hosted by Black Student Union, UC Santa Barbara
