As colleges and universities choose the proverbial "ax over the scalpel" to cut budgets in the wake of decreased state andfederal funding. Black Studies and other area study programs are often the first on the chopping block. Lack of interest and low enrollment are commonly cited as justifications for slashing or underfunding Black Studies programs, many of which are still in their infancy relative to other academic fields. #BlackLivesMatter is (re)igniting a resurgence of public displays of resilience and resistance, especially among Millennial college students. Moreover, there appears to be a much less understood phenomenon of the resurrection of Black Studies Programs across the countiy, as this generation seeks informed ways to access critically and analyze the value, or often lack thereof of Black lives in America. Drawing from hegemonic theory, theory of consent, Afro-pessimism, and systematic racism theory, we create a framework for understanding why and how race matters in the 21st century and ways in which people of color challenge racial ized social structures through #BlackLives Matter and Black Studies programs. We examine the following research questions: What are the potential effects of #BlackLivesMatter on campus climate and enrollment in Black Studies programs at a Predominately White Institution (PWI) where a high profile police involved shooting resulted in the killing of a Black man? What are the implications for Black Studies programs and for future research on race and higher education?. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Western Journal of Black Studies is the property of Washington State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
