The Center of Excellence for Social Justice

The Center of Excellence for Social Justice draws upon the interdisciplinary academic and historical resources of North Carolina A&T State University to support in-depth academic examination of topics such as race, economics, higher education, civil rights, public policy and related areas of study. Through research and academic inquiry, the center examines how these subjects have shaped the development of the United States and continue to influence contemporary society.

These efforts take the form of education, research and community engagement at North Carolina A&T—America’s leading historically Black, doctoral, land-grant university—and through collaboration with scholars, researchers and academic institutions across the country. The center provides opportunities for students, faculty and community members to engage with multiple perspectives and contribute to informed dialogue on issues related to history, society and civic life.
