Dear Black Students,<br />

You do matter. The numerous achievements and<br />

talents of Black students deserve to be recognized.<br />

As of Fall 2023, 11% of students on campus identified<br />

as Black or African American. Black students are<br />

disproportionately underrepresented in various areas<br />

on campus. <strong>Nineteen</strong> <strong>Fifty</strong>-<strong>Six</strong> is a Black studentled<br />

magazine that amplifies the voices within the<br />

University of Alabama’s Black community. It also<br />

seeks to educate students from all backgrounds on<br />

culturally important issues and topics in an effort<br />

to produce socially-conscious, ethical and wellrounded<br />

citizens.
