Historical Note: The Legion was organized in 1968 with the intent to give African-American students of the University of Missouri-Columbia a voice in student government. According to the LBC, the goals of the organization are to act as an advocate for positive change, a resource for black students, a service organization, and to maintain a good working relationship with University administrators. All black undergraduate students of the university are considered members. It worked closely with the Office of Minority Affairs and with the Black Culture Center (BCC), along with the Missouri Students Association (MSA) in the promotion of black campus life. In 1977 the LBC began the Big Eight (now Big 12) Conference on Black Student Government. In 1992, the LBC became the official black student government, and started receiving funding from every undergraduate out of student activity fees as the result of a successful referendum among university students. The group acts as a social and political organization to promote the African-American experience. Among its activities are fashion shows, parties, and campaigns to eliminate racial inequalities on campus. The LBC also acts as an umbrella organization for other African-American groups on campus. Series Descriptions: This Record Sub-Group is divided into eight record series. Arrangement within individual series is chronological. Series One contains documents concerning the organization of the Legion. This series includes constitutions, proposed amendments, ballots, and lists of officers. Series Two contains correspondence sent and received by the LBC, along with records of the 1989 executive board. Most of the correspondence is from the 1989-1990 academic year. Series Three includes records concerning public programs and activities of the LBC. Posters about LBC-sponsored activities are included in this series. Series Four holds clippings from newspapers, and pamphlets held by the LBC concerning other African-American organizations. Series Five contains photographs and slides concerning activities of the LBC and events of interest to the black population of the University. All except one of the photographs are in black and white. Series Six is composed of two Sub-Series, each holding records of other organizations besides the LBC. The first Sub-Series holds records of the Students Organized for Service, a volunteer organization dedicated to community service. The second Sub-Series holds the 1989 constitution of Students Organized Against Racism of Missouri University. Series Seven includes awards won by the LBC. Series Eight includes textile objects.
