UJIMA: Collective Work and Responsibility at the University of Michigan
UJIMA is an exhibit and timeline of social activism related to racial equality pioneered by African American students at UM-Ann Arbor.
Although the exhibit includes some early figures “breaking barriers,” the exhibit largely focuses on the 1960s onwards, with information on the Black Action Movement, the anti-apartheid movement, and activism surrounding Being Black at Michigan (#BBUM). The exhibit features photographs, historical documents, interviews, and student voices drawn from historical materials from the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS).
