The increasing diversity was evident in the scheduled panels at this year's conference, with several presentations on language, literature and culture in relation to the Afro-Mexican, Afro-Cuban and Afro-Hispanic.
Other conference highlights included an address by the poet Sonia Sanchez, sponsored by the Langston Hughes Society, and an address by author Marita Golden.
Planning for next year's conference is already under way with Tennessee State University serving as the host institution. For more information visit the organization's Web site at <www.clascholars.org>.
