APA Committee on
Black Philosophers

Charge to the Committee

The Committee is charged with assessing and reporting on the status of black philosophers. Among its responsibilities are to identify unfair or discriminatory practices and to advise the Board and the members of the Association of ways in which they may be rectified; to advise black philosophers concerning means of overcoming discrimination that they may encounter; and to make reports and recommendations to the Board concerning ways in which full and meaningful equality of opportunity can be provided to all individuals who seek to study, teach, or conduct research in philosophy. The Committee publishes the Newsletter on Philosophy and the Black Experience.

The Editor of the Newsletter on Philosophy and the Black Experience serves in an ex officio capacity on this Committee.
