I was browsing the 1971 Bomb and came across this:

Black Cultural Center
In a joint dedication ceremony the Black Cultural Center and Carver Hall, classroom and office building, were dedicated to "increase student interest and participation." The Center, in the planning stages since last year, has been funded by private individuals and by organizations such as Residence Hall Week. In the words of Roy Snell, Black Student Organization president, "This day marks the official beginning of a new era in student relations, a chance for understanding and relevant education in an area that up until now has been neglected, the area of brotherhood."
I had to look it up, but found it is still there in what must be it's 50th anniversary. It is in the same location at 517 Welsh as the pictures shown in the Bomb. I haven't heard much about this place over the years, or if I have those brains cells have been purged.
