Congratulations to the Marian Cheek Jackson Center for Saving and Making History (The Jackson Center) for being awarded an Inclusive Public Art planning grant!

This week, we welcomed 15 students to the 2nd Sankofa Freedom School, where they learned about local Black activism and organizing tactics. This is a collab between the Jackson Center, Inter-Faith Council for Social Service โ๐ฟโ๐พโ๐ฝ, and Southern Vision Alliance to mobilize the next generation of community leaders.


We're excited to welcome new neighbors. Join us Aug. 11 and/or Aug. 12! go.unc.edu/goodneighbor #BeAGoodNeighbor Town of Chapel Hill | A Place for Everyone Carrboro, NC The Jackson Center EmPOWERmentInc Downtown Chapel Hill
