A celebration of life reunion 2024 event honoring the life and legacy of Dr. James Turner (1940-2022), Professor Emeritus, Cornell University. Dr. James E. Turner (1940–2022) was a pioneer in the field of Black studies and the founding director of the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University. Cornell is considered the birthplace of Africana Studies, where Dr. Turner coined the term to conceptualize the comprehensive studies of the African diaspora and describe the multidisciplinary analysis of the lives and thoughts of people of African ancestry throughout the world.

In partnership with the family of Dr. James E. Turner, this event is sponsored by the Cornell Black Alumni Association, Africana Studies and Research Center, and Diversity Alumni Programs.
