In United States education, Africana studies, Black studies, or Africology, is the study of the histories, politics and cultures of peoples of African origin both in Africa and in the African diaspora.
"Africana studies" departments at many major universities grew out of the "Black studies" programs and departments formed in the late 1960s in the context of the US civil rights movement, as black studies programs were reformed and renamed "Africana studies" with an aim to encompass the continent of Africa and all of the African diaspora in a more abstract and traditionally academic way. The first "Africana" studies department was formed after the Willard Straight Hall takeover at Cornell University, an Ivy League School located in Ithaca, New York.
