History

The DuBois Bunche Center for Public Policy was founded by Dr. Edison O. Jackson, President of Medgar Evers College. Dr. Jackson envisioned that the Center would serve as a vehicle to harness the intellectual capital of scholar activists and advocates who could bring about a positive transformation within urban centers in the U.S. and throughout the African Diaspora.

In 1994 John Flateau, Ph.D. became first Director of the Center and immediately provided positive leadership by addressing major policy issues ranging from community justice reform to voting rights.
