University of Cincinnati

History


In 1968, African American students at the University of Cincinnati led by members of what was then the United Black Association (UBA) petitioned the University Board of Trustees and the President to commit to making the University of Cincinnati more conducive to African American students, faculty, and staff. In 1989, UBA submitted a proposal stating that African American students wanted to create a positive environment on campus in which their presence on campus and history would be more accurately represented. During the spring of 1990, the University Board of Trustees requested that the President establish a committee to study the feasibility of implementing a Center. As a result of this study, the initiative, commitment, and support taken by University's students, staff, the President's office, faculty Senate, and Board of Trustees, made it possible for the African American Cultural and Research Center to open its doors on September 24, 1991.
