NOCP is
unique in that it is organizing parents’ clubs in areas where there are
sizeable Black American communities and working through its
parents’ clubs to design and advance plans to achieve the above ends. NOCP members
are parents, alumni, neighbors, and friends of HBCUs in various
careers, disciplines and stations of service who are aware of the
promise and the peril of HBCUs and HBCU students.

The
nation’s 100 historically black colleges and
universities have been preparing mostly Black American students to
assume the responsibilities associated with adulthood, and to be
leaders in government, corporate, philanthropic, business and service
arenas since the period just after the Civil War.
|
|
|
These equal
educational opportunity institutions have at all times enrolled and
graduated students and employed faculty, administrators and staff
without regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender or
other stigma.

NOCP and
HBCUs are developing ways to meet the challenges of the Twenty-First
Century, with cutting-edge projects and increasing
enrollment. HBCUs provide vital education, health care, human
needs, economic and community development, and recreation services for
the communities in which they are located. NOCP is showing
that “college is a family affair” by its support of these efforts.
