The 2026 Douglass Global Leaders visited Puerto Rico to examine the impact of colonialism on education and society.
“I had never left the mainland US before this trip, and doing so, especially with a learning goal in mind, was a transformative experience,” said Lily Barber DRC’28, a history major with a women, gender, and sexuality studies minor. “Everything was exciting, from little things like seeing signs that were not primarily in English for the first time, to bigger things like trying new foods and learning about Puerto Rico’s colonial history in a hands-on way.”
In honor of Black History Month, we’re reflecting on the experiences of Black students at Douglass. Photos from The Douglass Century, Scarlet and Black, and more, paint a story of Black student life at Douglass and Rutgers—a story of student organizing, steadfast advocacy, and critical contributions that have made the campus community a more celebratory and inclusive place for students of all backgrounds.
