The African/African American Studies Program is hosting a book drive this month to benefit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy in Memphis, Tennessee. The Martin Luther King Jr. Academy is an alternative school for at-risk youth in grades 6-12. As you may remember, AFA visited the school in 2011 and donated enough books to start a library in the school. We need your help! We want to collect more books to help build MLK Jr. Academy’s library to enrich the lives of their students, providing them with opportunities they would otherwise not have. Donations of any and all books (new and used) would be much appreciated. Books can be dropped off at the AFA Office in Miller 110 between February 18 and March 8th. You may also call the AFA office at 859-622-1299 for us to pick up the books.

Thank you for your assistance.

While meat products are the main source of saturated fat in the American diet, candy, chips, pizza and French fries are also to blame. Processed foods also contain trans fats and excessive amounts of sodium, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. What’s more, these foods are some of the leading sources of calories in the average American diet, which can lead to obesity and obesity-related health complications.

Instead of swapping meat out for unhealthy convenience food this week, add fresh fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains to your diet. Not only will you improve the nutrition profile of your meal, you may find that you prefer the healthier option!
