Description
UNCC’s Black Studies Program was directed by education trailblazer Dr. Bertha Maxwell Roddey, who later served as national president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and co-founded the Harvey Gantt Center for African-American Art + Culture in downtown Charlotte. Under her guidance, the program laid the foundation for the university’s Department of Africana Studies as well as for the National Council of Black Studies, which promotes advanced degrees in ethnic studies. The program’s innovative first semester for freshmen was ahead of its time in designing learning communities and it set a model for an acclaimed campus summer program preparing students for college. So, support for this program from students in the 1970s has had broad impact over generations.
