Dividing Lines: An African American & Native American Symposium is an event in which
academics, artists, institutions, community organizations and figures can discuss and showcase African American, Native American and Afro-Amerindian research topics and perspectives.

The goal of Dividing Lines is to address the often overlooked interactions between Africans and Indigenous populations throughout the Americas in an interdisciplinary fashion. This is intended to be an annual event, laying the groundwork for more comprehensive studies in the future.
