The Center of Excellence for Social Justice
The exciting new Center of Excellence for Social Justice will marshal interdisciplinary intellectual and historical resources of North Carolina A&T State University toward explorations of the past, present and future regarding race, economics, higher education, civil rights, public policy and more. Within that work, the center will always seek to answer the question, What does social justice mean in the context of the many overlapping dynamics that created the United States and continue to shape our society today?
Those explorations will take the form of education, research and community engagement at North Carolina A&T, America’s leading historically Black, doctoral, land-grant university, and in collaboration with academic leaders, writers and thought leaders at colleges and universities across the country.
“The time has indeed come when we must all face up to the facts and realize that America cannot continue its present position of leadership in world affairs with the stigma of race prejudice and discrimination on the one hand, and grin-in-the-face tactics on the other. The season is here now.”
