Marian Cheek Jackson Center

The Marian Cheek Jackson Center for Saving and Making History is a hub of creative action dedicated to preserving the future of historically Black neighborhoods in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC.  Located in the heart of the Northside community, Center staff work in collaboration with Northside neighbors and friends to respect and to serve histories that, even as they are told, make new history out of Emancipation, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, civil rights struggle, and desegregation. Today Northside, Pine Knolls, and Tin Top are among the most racially, ethnically, and economically diverse neighborhoods in the region.
