About the Black Solidarity Conference

The Black Solidarity Conference at Yale is a completely student-run annual conference held in February.  BSC is the largest undergraduate conference held at Yale University and it continues to grow each year! BSC invites over 700 undergraduates of various races, religions, ethnicities, and communities to discuss issues pertaining to the African Diaspora. Through discussions, panels, networking, and social gatherings, students from across the country analyze issues affecting the Black/Afro-Diasporic community and explore solutions that can be implemented on their own college campuses.  In the past, the Conference has hosted Drs. Michael Eric Dyson, Angela Davis, Nikki Giovanni, and Cornel West as keynote speakers. We've also hosted artists such as J. Cole, Big Sean, Vic Mensa, and Phony Ppl as concert performers! In the following pages, you can discover how to register for conference and be a part of this amazing experience!

BSC 2024: “Transforming Silence INto Action: Mobilizing with Care in the Black Community”

 

BSC 2023's Theme:

Parts of a Whole: Embracing Intersectionality in the Black Identity

Last BSC’s theme celebrated the expanse of Blackness by exploring how black people across the diaspora have creatively found ways to express themselves, provide for their communities, and impact the globe. Last BSC’s participants were given the opportunity to turn inspiration into celebration and abundance by looking at Blackness across fields, mediums, and borders 

Where is the Conference?

The conference takes place every February at Yale University. The Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale serves as the "home base" throughout BSC while panels, workshops, and several events take place in classrooms, conference halls, and other venues across Yale's campus.
