Afro-American courses have been offered at Bishop since 1929. The program was initiated by Dr. Melvin J. Banks when he began his career as a teacher at Bishop. Katherine Colbert, a senior history major, has used maps and charts extensively in her exploration of the events in the development of various countries including Africa and America. Q.. -: ' nz A fi . gr .f -Q: T : i :- When Dr. Banks teaches his classes, he always includes map study. As a partici- pant in the foreign exchange student program, Dr. Banks encourages foreign students to enroll in his courses and encourages his students to engage in for- eign travel themselves. The Iranian student is Mohammad Mohammadi. Everett Davis may be considered an assistant to Dr. Banks. He works in the De- partment of Social Sciences in order to finance his education. Most of the students in the class are seniors and most are maiors in some area of the social sciences.
