africana studies departments at many major universities grew out of the black studies programs and departments formed in the late 1960s in the context of the us civil rights movement, as black studies programs were reformed and renamed "africana studies," with an aim to encompass the continent of africa and all of the african diaspora using terminology rooted in geography and history rather than race. the first "africana" studies department was formed after the willard straight hall takeover at cornell university, an ivy league university located in ithaca, new york.
