Stanford University officials announced Tuesday that they are transforming their 52-year-old program of African and African-American studies into a full-fledged academic department.
The move comes after Stanford’s Black Student Union and Black Graduate Student Association created a petition last summer urging Stanford to make the change, following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The groups noted that elite universities had such a department.
At Stanford, African and African-American studies has been a program for more than half a century and resides in the School of Humanities and Sciences. A department, unlike a program, is an administrative organization that can search for and hire its own faculty.
San Francisco literary lion Lawrence Ferlinghetti died Monday at 101.

A prolific poet with more than 30 collections published over a half-century, Ferlinghetti was known for the central role he played in San Francisco’s literary universe, where he arrived in 1951 in search of bohemia. (Quite literally. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that, soon after arriving, he “asked a stranger to point him in the direction of the bohemian quarter in the city” and then moved in.)
Ferlinghetti and a partner launched City Lights as the country’s first all-paperback bookstore in 1953, as the city’s Beat renaissance unfolded in the city. The bookshop is still going strong in North Beach nearly seven decades later, though it was closed for the first part of the day on Tuesday in his memory.
