	African American studies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		African American studies, or Black studies, is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to the study of the history, culture, and politics of African Americans.
		The Department of Black Studies was created at San Francisco State in September of 1968 and gained official status at the end of the five-months strike in the spring of 1969.
		The creation of programs and departments in Black studies was a common demand of protests and sit-ins by minority students and their allies, who felt that their cultures and interests were underserved by the traditional academic structures.
