    Published on NCpedia (https://ncpedia.org) Home > North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) [1] Share it now! North Carolina's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Prior to the conclusion of the Civil War in 1865, the majority of African Americans in the United States were enslaved persons living in the southern states. Education for African Americans was sparse, especially in the South with laws such as North Carolina's that prohibited teaching enslaved persons to read and write. It was a rare occurrence for an African American to be literate. While there were a few schools dedicated to African American education in the North prior to the Civil War, the first college available to African Americans in the South was Shaw University, which opened its doors in 1865. A number of institutions dedicated specifically for the education of African Americans were founded in the era immediately following the Civil War and others followed when segregation limited equal access to education. These schools are often known as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or "HBCUs". North Carolina has twelve historically black colleges and universities, including the oldest in the South, Raleigh's Shaw University, founded in 1865, and North Carolina's newest HBCU, North Carolina Central University, founded in 1910 in Durham. Ten of these schools continue to operate today.

  • Cultural Heritage the Mountains and Foothills of North Carolina Have Over Many Centuries Fostered a Rich Mosaic of Cultural Heritage
    Western North Carolina Vitality Index Cultural Heritage www.wncvitalityindex.org The mountains and foothills of North Carolina have over many centuries fostered a rich mosaic of cultural heritage. The birthplace of the Cherokee’s advanced early civilization, the region is home today to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, which continues to preserve many facets of traditional Cherokee culture. Beginning in the eighteenth century, European and African settlers moved into the mountains. The relative isolation of mountain life helped these settlers refine and preserve many traditions, most notably handmade crafts, traditional music, and local agricultural practices. Today, these distinctive cultural legacies are celebrated as living traditions, providing employment to master artists and tradition bearers and drawing tourists from across the globe to experience the region’s craft galleries, music halls, festivals, museums, farms, and local cuisine. photo courtesy of Blue Ridge National this project has been funded by Heritage Area a project of Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Designation A National Heritage Area is a place designated by the United States Congress where natural, cultural, historic, and recreational resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape arising from patterns of human activity shaped by geography. Currently, there are 49 National Heritage Areas across the United States, where each area shares how their people, resources, and histories come together to provide experiences that “tell America’s story” and to encourage the community to join together around a common theme and promote the cultural, natural, and recreational benefits of the area. In November 2003, Western North Carolina (WNC) was designated the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area in recognition of the region’s agriculture, craft heritage, traditional music, the distinctive living traditions of Cherokee culture, and rich natural heritage, and their significance to the country.

This letter is a summary of the various Zoom meetings where we shared this news before Thanksgiving with students, families, faculty, staff and alumnae. A reminder: for students who have special circumstances please be in contact with Dean Kimberley Drye-Dancy. As President, I am not only responsible for supporting the education, training, and leadership skills of women attending Bennett but also ensuring the health and safety of all students, faculty, and staff. The COVID pandemic poses one of the most significant threats to us at this time. I have consulted with National and Global Public Health experts, including those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the NC Department of Health and Humans Services, the Guilford County Health Department, and our own alumna and Social Epidemiologist Dr Sharelle Barber to understand the best medical information on the coronavirus, the public health implications of COVID, and what we know about prevention, treatment, and care. In addition to those consultations, VP Hurd and I meet weekly with other Guilford higher education institutions and the county health department and Ms Francois and I meet one-on-one weekly with the lead doctor and nurse from the county health department.
