The annual Conference on African American Culture and Experience (CACE) examines critical and timely African American-related issues and perspectives to engage students, faculty, staff, and members of the community in the exploration and discussion of these topics and ideas. CACE was initiated in 1990 by the UNCG Department of Religious Studies and seeks to promote a better understanding of the various facets of African American culture and experience.
