Association of African and Afro-American Students at Harvard and Radcliffe

The Association of African and Afro-American Students of Harvard and Radcliffe, frequently referred to as AFRO, was founded in the spring of 1963 and officially recognized that December. The student group identified itself as Pan-Africanist, and automatically granted membership to any black student at Harvard. The group served both a social and political function, although the emphasis changed from year to year. By 1977, the group was defunct, due to a lack of funding and student support, and had been replaced by the new Harvard-Radcliffe Black Students Association. The group is alternately referred to as AAAAS, AFRO, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Association of African and Afro-American Students.
