Bring It On! – August 25, 2025: The Upcoming Academic Year for IU’s Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and the African American Arts Institute
On tonight’s edition of Bring It On!, hosts Clarence Boone and Liz Mitchell showcase the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center and the African American Arts Institute on the Indiana University Bloomington Campus. Our guests today are:
Dr. Gloria Howell and Professors Strong and Wise are here tonight to provide an overview of the upcoming cultural events offered by the NMCC and AAAI.
In January 2002, the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center at Indiana University was officially dedicated in honor of the first African American man and woman to graduate from Indiana University: Marcellus Neal earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1895, and Frances Marshall received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1919.
The African American Arts Institute preserves and promotes excellence in African American music, dance, and culture. Its history began in the early 1970s. First, in 1971, the IU Soul Revue was established, and then, in 1974, the African American Dance Company was founded. One year later, in 1975, the African American Choral Ensemble was established to provide students with the opportunity to study and perform various forms of choral music that evolved out of the Black experience. These three ensembles have become integral components of the African American Arts Institute, while they are also offered as courses through the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies.
