Truth in Service

I’m excited to announce the first community service initiative of The James Baldwin Soceity of NCCU! We’re launching a clothing drive since fall is upon us, and winter will be here before you know it. Growing up in poverty is a prominent part of James Baldwin’s story. In Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), he speaks not only of the condition of his own family, but the relative condition of economic privation of nearly everyone he knew in his Harlem community. The suffering and needs of people who by reason of political disenfranchisement and systemic racism were forced to exist in the shadows of American privilege, was always important to him. Because of this, TJBSNCCU undertakes this initiative with pride, embracing Love in Service as its creed.
