Our History
On March 1, 1939, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted House Bill 18, which authorized a law school at North Carolina College for Negroes, now North Carolina Central University, paving the way for a new generation of African American lawyers in North Carolina.
First NCCU Law School Graduate
In March 1939, as North Carolina College for Negroes (now North Carolina Central University) received its charter from the State Legislature to begin a department of law, World War II was in full swing. The world was at war when in one small school in North Carolina, a young black student began law school alone. The student was Robert Richard Bond, the first graduate of NCCU School of Law.
