The Second National Conference on African/Black Psychology is dedicated to the life’s work of Amos Wilson. Amos Wilson was a scholar/activist who heeded the call of Bolekaja, which means to come on down and fight. Given his unwavering commitment and dedication to a psychology of liberation for African people, Wilson centered his focus on psycho-historical and social analysis that sought to not only interpret and understand Africana realities under Western oppression, but to ultimately change them. Thus, in the spirit of Amos Wilson, this conference will attempt to challenge scholars to continue the task of offering models of psychological functioning that demonstrate how the acquiring of cultural consciousness translates into practical solutions that impact the social, economic and political conditions confronting people of African descent.
