238 Inclusive Scholarship: Developing Black Studies in the United States Studies units to create a compelling message, and identify and nurture potential donors. Since its modest beginnings, African American Studies has stood at the forefront of cutting-edge approaches and interpretations. As the field is strengthened, it will greatly influence and enhance the position of all interdisciplinary units within the arts and sciences. The intellectual future of the field is bright. To realize this potential, a strong institutional future for the field of African American Studies is a necessity.
