Our Mission

BlackBoard, Northwestern University’s Black student magazine, serves as an open forum for student expression. The curators of the magazine hope to challenge the audience to think critically in order to move out of orthodox thought processes.

Ubuntu, “I am because we are,” is the slogan of the magazine that acts as a symbol for a unified Black community, for we realize that without honoring all of our intricate and diverse identities, we have nothing.

With a determined staff and dedicated board, this publication will provide a world of knowledge and food for thought on a consistent basis.
