The Black Ink

The Ink is back to Mark the Spot

The Black Ink is the African American newspaper of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It has been almost a year and a half since the last issue of the Black Ink was printed. Now, with the help of the Prism newspaper, the Black Ink has returned to leave its mark. The staff of the Black Ink strives to probe the issues that shape our world, our society and ultimately ourselves. Also we hope not only to influence the minds of the African American students on campus, but all readers. The Black Ink is running its second issue in the September Prism in an effort to get production off the ground. The staff of The Black Ink has enjoyed working with The Prism, and with our combined efforts we will have a better understanding of the world we live in.

The Black Ink

The Ink is back to Mark the Spot

The Black Ink is the African American newspaper of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It has been almost a year and a half since the last issue of the Black Ink was printed. Now, with the help of the Prism newspaper, the Black Ink has returned to leave its mark. The staff of the Black Ink strives to probe the issues that shape our world, our society and ultimately ourselves. Also we hope not only to influence the minds of the African American students on campus, but all readers. The Black Ink will run two issues in the Prism (July/August and September), in an effort to get production off the ground. The staff of the Black Ink is looking forward to working with the Prism, and with our combined efforts we will have a better understanding of the world we live in.
