West Virginia State University Race Relations is one of the three components of the National Center for Human Relations. Its objectives are to promote, encourage, and support the study and understanding of, and exchange information about race relations between and among people, communities across the spectrum. This topic will be explored from various perspectives to generate a more literate population throughout society.
Race and ethnic relations continue to offer challenges for human groups throughout the globe. While categories to designate human variation may be connected to a group’s historical struggles for self- determination, access to valuable resources, and favorable public policies, humankind must work to transcend interracial/interethnic dynamics. West Virginia State has historically worked to strengthen intergroup relations. The National Center serves as a viable resource in this endeavor.
