The Society Of Black Archeologists
Hey Travelers! Are you interested in becoming an archeologist, but don’t know where to turn? Well, I have a resource for you! Recently I had the honor and privilege of interviewing Craig Stevens. Craig is an up-in-coming archeologist. He is currently a PhD candidate at NorthWestern University. In the interview he shared a must know resource for any archeologist. What is that resource? It is the Society of Black Archeologists.
The Society of Black Archeologists is a non-profit that began in 2011. This non-profit focuses on academic excellence and social responsibility. According to their website, the Society of Black Archeologists was created with five goals in mind. These goals are:
The goals of the Society of Black Archeologists are:
- To lobby on behalf and ensure the proper treatment of African and African Diaspora material culture
- To encourage more people of African descent to enter the field of archaeology
- To raise and address concerns related to African peoples worldwide
- To highlight the past and present achievements and contributions that people of African descent have made to the field of archaeology
- To ensure the communities affected by archaeological work act not just as objects of study or informants but are active makers and/or participants in the unearthing of their own history
