The eBlack Studies Cooperative Research Network met for the second time in Savannah , Georgia at Savannah State University (SSU) under the outstanding leadership of Dr. Ronald Bailey and other SSU faculty. Some of the topics engaged include cyberorganizing, international distance learning collaborations, the use of information technologies in instructional and research design, and issues associated with archiving, library science and digitization initiatives. An important aspect of this convening is the representation of HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) in the eBlack Studies movement. This eBlack Studies network first met in 2008 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with generous support from NCBS and the Ford Foundation. A link to the first workshop that includes the eBlack Studies Manifesto and reading resources may be found at http://eblackstudies.org/workshop.
