In recognition of North Carolina Central University’s founding in 1910 as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race, today we celebrate 109 years of preparing scholars to continually soar in the global marketplace. . . . In February 1946, our founder, Dr. James E. Shepard gave a statewide radio address titled "Our Mutual Tasks." This is a short snippet from his speech. | North Carolina Central University
