The Temple University Chapter of the Black Law Students Association (BL.S A) was created in 1969 when eight enterprising law- students saw the need to form a support organization for African-American law students. With a current membership of over I (X) students. Temple BLSA continues to fulfill the directive of our founders. Temple BLSA provides educational, social and cultural support to its members. The Education Committee sponsored workshops on outlining. Westlaw and exam taking skills. BLSA hosts several happy hours at local clubs arid in the Law School. This semester, we had a Spring Semester Welcome Back Party and a Black History Month Jam. To ensure awareness of our cultural history, the Cultural AffairsCommitteeorganized a heartwarming tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, sponsored mid-day films and speakers and stimulated dialogue within the Law School by hosting forums to discuss issues which shape the lives of African-Americans and other people of color, litis year we sponsored The Politics of Race at Temple Law School - a Forum on Race Relations. Our members visited schools and interviewed prospective law students and faculty. In addition to playing an active role in the Law School community. Temple BLSA is committed to community service. Recognizing the need to be role models to our youth, our members serve as mentors, readers and Big Brothers Big Sisters to the children at the William Dick Elementary School.
