Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Zainab Taymuree (2016 BA African and African American Studies) shares memories of the creation and early years of the Markaz Resource Center. Taymuree recalls first becoming aware of the project through the Muslim Board and later becoming heavily involved in designing the physical space. She provides insight into the decisions that were made about the interior design and the décor of the space, in consideration of the potential uses of the center, the representation of the community, and inclusiveness. Taymuree also reflects on giving the commencement baccalaureate speech and graduating from Stanford, as well as the changes in the African and African American Studies Department with the onset of the Black Lives Matter movement.
