the African-American Student Union at HBS as a key inflection point in the School’s history, which offered not only an occasion for reflection, but also was an exciting opportunity for HBS to conduct new research, convene thought leaders, and undertake initiatives to advance African American business leaders. Throughout the year leading up to the anniversary, the student organization, the African-American Alumni Association, and the faculty of the Leadership Initiative hosted a range of events focused on the advancement of African American business leaders. The activities culminated in a two-day Conference on African American Business Leadership, a multi-disciplinary event that celebrated the vibrant and important role that African Americans have played in shaping our institution, the business world, and society at large.</p> <p>This website has been designed to provide you with information and access to resources, programs, recent articles, and relevant links related to African Americans in business, as well as links to the AASU50 celebration at HBS in 2018.</p> </div> <div id="two"> <h3 style="margin-bottom:0px">African Americans at HBS</h3> <br> <img alt="" src="/PublishingImages/events/AASU50/2390.jpg" width="708"><br><br> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/AASU/">Agents of Change: The Founding and Impact of the African-American Student Union, Harvard Business School</a> (Baker Library exhibit) </li> <li><a href="https://www.alumni.hbs.edu/stories/Pages/story-bulletin.aspx?num=6567">“We Were Just Doing What Needed to Be Done”</a> (<em>HBS Alumni Bulletin</em>, March 2018)</li> <li><a href="http://www.hbsaaa.org/s/1738/cc/index3.aspx?sid=1738&gid=27&pgid=61&cid=160">HBS African-American Alumni Association</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hbsaasu.com/">HBS African-American Student Union</a></li> </ul> <br> <div class="html"> <h3 style="margin-bottom:0px">The History of AASU</h3> <br> <p> Seven years after the founding of Harvard Business School in 1915, Wendell Thomas Cunningham became the first black student to graduate from the institution. Cunningham was one of 27 men who received the Master in Business Administration degree in 1915. Between 1915 and 1968, there were a total 42 black graduates of HBS with many class years having no black graduates at all. </p> <p> The representation of blacks at HBS took a major turn in the spring of 1968 when 5 students, including the first black woman to graduate from HBS, joined forces to form the predecessor of the African American Student Union (originally called the Afro-American Student Union). </p> <p class="more-arrow mu"><a class="ext" href="https://www.aasuhbs.com/past" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">More on the history of AASU</a></p> <div class="shim28"></div> <dl class="accordian h3-eta-uc"> <dt> <h3><a>AASU Founders</a></h3> </dt> <dd style="display:none"> <p> These five founders sought to increase the enrollment of blacks at HBS and worked with the Administration to conduct an outreach program to a number of undergraduate colleges including Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
