Our goal is to congregate and highlight all aspects of student life for the purpose of improving the campus environment.
The Christian Brothers University Black Student Association (BSA) abides by the following core principles of our organization: To represent and address the interest and concerns of the African American and other minorities on campus. We encourage the involvement of African American students in ALL campus activities. We discourage and abate institutional and individual acts and symbols of discrimination of any kind (colorism, sexism, ageism, and overall prejudice).

Today, a historical marker was dedicated to The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at Memphis International Airport
On April 3, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. boarded Eastern Air Lines Flight 381 from Atlanta to Memphis. A bomb threat had been called in against the flight and the captain announced the flight would be delayed. The entire baggage hold was searched and nothing was found. Just another travel day for King.
That evening he mentioned the incident in his sermon, remaking, “But I’m not concerned about that now, I’m not worried about anything! I’m not fearing any man.” The next day he was assassinated. Eastern 381 would be his last flight…commercial anyway.
