Letter from Professor Caroline Elkins, Chair of the Committee on African Studies:
"The natural disaster in Haiti has affected all of us in Harvard's
global community, whether directly or indirectly. Collectively, our
family of African and African American scholars, students, fellows, and
staff members at the University are at once grieving and mobilizing for
collective action to support our family, friends, and colleagues who,
at this very moment, are struggling to survive in Haiti. Indeed, these
men, women, and children are family to us all."
