North

relied on
slavery to
build its
economy
during the
18th and
19th
centuries.

crops, did
domestic
chores,
constructed
new
buildings,
sailed

The
institution
of slavery
did not just
involve
physical
confinement
and
mistreatment;
it also
sought to
suppress, if
not destroy,
the
cultural,
religious
and social
values of
Africans by
stripping
Africans of
their
ancestral
names and
customs,
humiliating
and
brutalizing
them through
sexual
exploitation,
and selling
African
relatives
apart from
one another

Notwithstanding the 14th
and 15th amendments to
the Constitution,
institutionalized
discrimination continued
in many parts of the
country, with the
enactment and
enforcement of laws that
would come to be known
as Jim Crow that were
designed to separate
African Americans from
their fellow citizens, to
suppress and intimidate
their exercise of basic
rights, as voting, and
to frustrate educational
opportunities that would
create long-term loss of

In 1970, the United

`The
Triad is the manufacturing center for the

textiles and furniture are all projected to
decline in the future. ``We have to attract
other businesses to the area, and we have to
leverage what's here.'' [22] Last
month, the members [Greensboro
Area Chamber of Commerce] came
up with a recommendation: a Knowledge Campus, "
more commonly known as a research park. this
campus would house N.C. A&T's and UNC-G's
flagship research programs, like engineering and
biotechnology" There, cutting-edge research
could be spun off into startup businesses and
lure exiting ones from other parts of the
nation. Young people would flock to Greensboro
for a shot at high-paying, high-tech jobs with a
real future. [27]
Without advanced programs in that [science]
area,'' Moran said, ``we [UNCG] are outside what
might be called the mainstream of development of
universities such as this one [NC A&T].” “ [26]
.
Rewinding to 1991-92, reported
in the Media: "but
that center |

[Piedmont
Triad Engineering Research Center] contains no
role for UNCG, which had hoped to get several doctoral
level programs out of a joint engineering and science
research center with A&T", emphasis added; "UNCG/A&T
proposal had won the enthusiastic
endorsement of top Greensboro business leaders. Acting
through the Greensboro Development Corp., they last year
commissioned a $300,000 study to determine what areas
of research at UNCG/A&T center could engage in to the
benefit of the Triad economy and its industries"; and
I'm [banker E.S. ``Jim'' Melvin, chairman of the
Greensboro Development Corp convinced it [Research
Center] is the thing to do, but we've got to work
through the university system, build the case for it and
get it high on the board's priority list. That's going
to take some time.'' [16] |

consideration as the City designates
and promotes land for economic
development. The NCA&TSU Farm site
is one such candidate. 7D.3 Promote
economic development through
public/private partnerships to
include government, economic
development agencies, educational
and health care institutions, and
businesses. Build on existing
partnerships and initiatives in this
effort. Examples include:

University-related research and
development opportunities with UNCG
and NCA&TSU (building on the
example of the Nussbaum Center
incubator facility)[ One of
their primary tasks will be keeping
tabs on research at the two
universities, in areas such as
engineering and sciences, that might
have commercial uses. They will look
for existing companies that could
benefit from that research and
explore the potential of using it to
create start-up businesses.]

Negotiation
began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T
State University celebrated the
sighing of Memorandum of
Understanding with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
with the opening of the National
Resources Conservation Services
Eastern Regional Technology Center
whose service area consisted of 24
states and the Caribbean area. The
Greensboro Center was also home to
the remote sensing
lab. The Memorandum of
Understanding says A&T has a working
farm with modern facilities and farm
equipment. NRCS will benefit from
the use of this farm by being able
to provide hands-on training to NRCS
employees. NRCS can sponsor field
studies that can serve as demonstrations
to both NRCS trainees and also local
and regional farmers. A&T
constituents will also benefit from
this type of applied investigation.
Finally, A&T
faculty and students can also
benefit academically by conducting
scholarly research and publishing
this information. |

Talking with John of Friday. I've learned that
he has gained a significant commitment from the
USDA for up to a 50,000 sq. ft. new building.
While they understand that we are working hard
at getting things properly set-up for all
parties and are being patient, my sense is that
it would be in the best interest of this new
venture to get that first client off to a
healthy and timely start. I'll be in Raleigh
Wednesday for a couple of meetings ... and would
welcome the opportunity to work the issues that
you are see in the lease. I know that John
Merrill is also pretty flexible this week is
well. Sorry to be a bit of a pest with this
important issue and I appreciate your
understanding.
