The Black Faculty Staff Caucus (BFSC) formed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974. The organization, known as the Carolina Black Caucus since the late 2000s, promotes affirmative action, recruitment and hiring of African Americans, racial justice and awareness, and equal opportunities for all minority members of the university community. Records document the administration, goals, and programs of the Black Faculty Staff Caucus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. General files chiefly include meeting agendas, notes, membership lists and applications, reports, and news clippings. There are also documents relating to the development of the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History; the 1989 and 1991 Black Leadership Summits; the university's Bicentennial Video Project; African American faculty recruitment efforts; photocopies of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's request for statewide desegregation in higher education; and the Carolina Campus Cares program. There is also a BFSC photograph album of the 1996 year-end celebrations that is covered in Kente cloth.
