NCBS has received a $50,000.00 grant from the Tides Foundation to engage in community projects/activities related to helping communities “envision a world of shared prosperity and social justice founded on equality and human rights, sustainable environment, quality education, and healthy individuals and communities.” With this kind of support, communities can engage the young and elderly in conversations and activities that help them remember and understand how African Americans and African descended peoples have created and implemented ideas related to historical and cultural freedoms in the past and in this current moment.
In keeping with ideas and practices associated with Freedom School Projects, the National Council of Black Studies (NCBS) encourages members to engage in the organization’s newly created NCBS Freedom Project. Our goal is to support members who want to engage with community members in creating educational programs and practices associated with learning how the ideas of freedom have been practiced in African American and African descended communities.
Questions should be sent to the Community Engagement Committee at community@ncbsonline.org.
