| The World Wide Web continues to grow, with more and more information becoming available to students in Africana Studies. There are so many sites that you will obviously want to explore for yourself, but we do have a few we'd like to share - and if you would like to share some you've found, please do so!
You will note as you take a look at our lists, that many individuals should actually be listed in a number of categories, as they have excelled in a number of fields.
Please note, as well, that we have tried to be careful in picking these web sites, but the Gettysburg College Africana Studies Program is not responsible for the contents of any of these off-site pages. If in your wanderings, you find some you believe to be inappropriate, let us know. Thank you!
