Soul Revue

The IU Soul Revue was founded in 1971 by Dr. Herman C. Hudson with Dr. Portia Maultsby as its first director.  
50+ years later, the IU Soul Revue continues the legacy under the direction of James Strong.  

I want to stress the importance of the Soul Revue and the entire AAAI. It is needed! When I was at IU, Black students made up less than 3% of the student body. It’s easy to get lost in the shuffle, and some of us did. The AAAI gave us an identity, a family. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it through college without them. I hope and pray that these groups remain a part of this great university forever.
