UNC Black Ink Magazine

Black Ink Magazine is the official publication of the Black Student Movement (BSM) on UNC’s campus. It was founded in 1969 and started as a newspaper. Over the years, the publication has transformed into its current online magazine format. Black Ink was created to serve as a voice for the Black community on campus and it continues to serve as an outlet for African American students to voice their opinions, thoughts and ideals. Our staff is comprised of a diverse combination of writers, photographers, and graphic designers who use their individual talents along with pen and paper to report issues that are affecting the Black and Carolina communities. Our mission remains, “If Blackness can be transformed into pictures and words, we intend to do so, by any means necessary.”
