About NCBS: National Council for Black Studies exists to promote academic excellence and social responsibility in the discipline of Africana/Black Studies through the production and dissemination of knowledge, professional development and training, and advocacy for social change and social justice. NCBS accepts new, emerging, and ongoing scholarship on current issues and innovations of importance to Africana communities in the United States and throughout the global African world.
