The entire spectrum of black political and cultural thought appears in the pages of The Black Scholar, represented by leading writers such as Clarence Lusane, Melba Joyce Boyd, Manning Marable and Maulana Karenga. Each issue focuses on a subject of major concern in the African American community. Education, black political empowerment, social movements, the multicultural debate, black women's activism, the crisis of the black male, the Ebonics debate, the Million Man March, the New South Africa and many other fundamental subjects have all been probed in the pages of The Black Scholar, which often receives national and international acclaim. There's an almost-complete list of The Black Scholar back issues near the end of this page.

Among The Black Scholar's other contributors have been Amiri Baraka, Angela Davis, Julian Bond, Shirley Chisholm, Audre Lorde, Max Roach, Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
