Biography (note)
  • The National Council for Black Studies was formally established in July 1976 to promote and strengthen academic and community programs in the field of Black studies by acting as a clearinghouse for information on Black studies. Comprised of educators, students, and other interested parties who are committed to the advancement of Black studies, the NCBS believes that Black academic programs should include any subject areas that have the phrase "Black experience" as the principle object and content of study.
