Mission

Dillard University’s Center for Racial Justice focuses on engaging its local community, city leaders and organizations and our youth to reach awareness on the issues of social and racial injustice. The mission of the Center for Racial Justice is to bring systemic change to communities of color and to promote partnerships with public safety offices, city wide organizations, graduate/professional schools, business communities, and educational institutions in addressing problems and areas of concern for our youth.

Dillard University’s Center for Racial Justice is committed to nurturing the next generation of Youth Activists, uniting our community to illuminate and combat social injustices. With a focus on education, activism, and community engagement, we strive to create socially conscious leaders who champion equity and drive positive change in society.
