We mourn the passing of Dr. Cordy Tindell "C.T." Vivian, an icon of the civil rights movement and renowned author and theologian.

We all are saddened by the loss of a much-loved leader, the great John Robert Lewis, who remained at the forefront of the fight for freedom and justice throughout his lifetime.

Shaw University will join other major universities in the first research cohort to participate in a $500,000 grant made to the Humanities Action Lab (HAL) at Rutgers by  the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The purpose of the enter for Racial and Social Justice (CRSJ) is to enable meaningful social change by fostering engagement around civil and human rights, spiritual formation, discernment and social justice. The CRSJ also will support development of healthy congregations and communities.
