The 2018 Black Alumni Reunion
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Black Student Walkout, more than 700 alumni and guests immersed themselves in nearly 30 events in celebration of the University's Black community and its important place in Brown's history and future. This was Brown's fourth Black Reunion (previous gatherings were in 2006, 2010, and 2013).
