5 5 AGGIE HISTORY

6 &T HISTORY of the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is a learner-centered community that develops and preserves intellectual capital through interdisciplinary research, discovery, engagement and operational excellence. The university s rich history dates back over 118 years. N.C. A&T was established as the A. and M. College for the Colored Race by an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina ratified March 9, In the fall of 1890, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted a second Morrill Act that mandated a separate college for the colored race. (The College operated in Raleigh as an annex to Shaw University during the years , , and ). A group of Greensboro citizens banned together to make a permanent home for the institution. Members such as Dr. DeWitt, a black dentist, C. Benbow and Charles H. Moore donated 14 acres of land for the site and an additional $11,000 in cash that aided in construction of the buildings. This amount was supplemented by an appropriation of $2,500 from the General Assembly. The plan was approved on March 9, 1891, and the first building was completed in 1893: the Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race (now North Carolina A&T State University) had found its new home. In 1915, state legislators changed the college s name to The Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, and in 1967 elevated its status to university. N.C. A&T became a constituent university of The University of North Carolina in Since its inception, A&T has maintained a tradition of excellence in education. Under the leadership of Dr. Harold L. Martin Sr., the university s current chancellor, A&T continues to thrive as it sustains its rich legacy. A&T is a public, land-grant institution located in Greensboro, N.C., on 200 beautiful acres. There is also a 600-acre university farm. A&T is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a doctoral research university. Its enrollment is more than 10,000 students and its workforce includes over 2,100 employees. The university offers 117 undergraduate degree UNIVERSITY programs, more than 58 master s degree programs, and Ph.D. programs in mechanical, electrical and industrial engineering; energy and environmental systems; and leadership studies. The academic programs are offered through the School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business and Economics, School of Education, School of Technology, College of Engineering, School of Nursing, Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering; and School of Graduate Studies. A&T s outstanding student body is the primary strength of the university. Students are carefully selected from thousands of applicants annually. Once enrolled, they are taught and mentored by excellent faculty, the majority of whom have earned doctoral and other degrees from some of the nation s most prestigious graduate and professional schools. A&T graduates the largest number of African- American engineers at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels and psychology undergraduates in the nation.

8 H I S T O R Y University Seal The humble Latin phrase Mens Et Manus, meaning Mind and Hand, is inscribed on the North Carolina A&T State University Seal. The University Seal is used only on official, formal and ceremonial documents such as those used for graduation, convocation or other special projects designated by the Chancellor. Aggie THE ALMA MATER Verse I Dear A&T, Dear A&T, a monument indeed, Around thy base with grateful hearts behold thy students kneel. We bless the power that gave thee birth to help us in our need, We ll ever strive while here on earth all loyalty to yield. Refrain With joy, with joy, dear A&T, thy students turn from thee To spread thy trophies year by year from Dare to Cherokee. Verse II Dear A&T, Dear A&T, the signet thou shalt be, Set by our great old commonwealth, proud boaster of the free She d have the record of her worth on granite not inscribed Nay, let the children of her birth proclaim it by their lives. Verse III Dear A&T, Dear A&T, henceforth our aim shall be, By precepts wise and deeds more sure to bless the State through thee; The arts of industry to wield against an idle foe A harvest rich from ripened fields or what thy students sow. 8

9 The A&T Four On February 1, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, four A&T freshmen, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond walked downtown and sat-in at the whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth s. They refused to leave when denied service and stayed until the store closed. From left to right: David Chip Richmond (son of the late David L. Richmond), Franklin McCain Sr. 63, Jibreel Khazan 63 and Joseph A. McNeil 63 pose in front of the statue commemorating the A&T Four on the A&T campus. Photo courtesy of A&T University Relations. Chronology Of The Sit In Events that occurred as a result of this bold action by these four young men included: February 2, other students from A&T and other Greensboro colleges and universities joined them. During the next 10 days, students across the state participated in similar sit ins. By the third week of February 1960, demonstrations had spread to at least 250 major cities and towns in the U.S. where over 400 demonstrations took place by the end of Woolworth s was desegregated by the end of July Jibreel Khazan recounts that on Sunday night, January 31, 1960, we decided we were going to request equal service for all Americans at F. W. Woolworth s lunch counter on Monday, February 1, As a result of this movement, significant events in civil rights history occurred: The passage of the 1960 Civil Rights Bill. The Interstate Commerce Commission ruling in September 1961 against racial segregation on interstate carriers and terminals. The first National Public Accommodations Act in 100 years (Khazan 2004). The legacy of these four heroes proves the true potential and appeal of nonviolence. It was their protest that became the model and inspiration for later civil rights, anti-war and women s liberations movements. These four young men forever changed the course of history with their bravery and courage. 9
