Sonja H Stone Center (UNCStoneCenter)

The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History is part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a center within the University's Academic Affairs Division, we have a central role in supporting the University's academic mission. We have a commitment to broaden the range of intellectual discourse about African-Americans and to encourage better understanding of peoples of the African diaspora and their perspectives on important social and cultural issues.

Since its inception in 1988, the Center has focused its efforts on the interdisciplinary examination of African diaspora arts, cultures, literatures and histories. The Center's current focus is on integrating cultural development with community development, and on building ties to communities and institutions in the African diaspora in the Americas.
