The Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA) was established in 1988 with the premise that is crucial to understand race as a historical and sociological reality in America and to understand the implications of race and ethnicity as historical, social, and analytical categories for mutidisciplinary studies and multiple modes of discourse.

The Third World Center at Brown University, created in 1976, was designed to serve the interests and meet the needs of all Third World students and to promote racial and ethnic pluralism in the Brown community.

This BAM article gives IPC a historical context.

Though we all think Brown is the center of the Black Ivy League universe, there actually is Black Ivy League life outside of Brown. Want to know what's happening in the Black Ivy League beyond Brown? Go to The League: The Official Website for Black Ivy League Alums. As a matter of fact, Brown's own Russell Malbrough '99 is on the Executive Committee and was responsible for their historic Pan-Ivy Conference "Blacks in the Ivy League". So it seems, based on Russell's efforts, that maybe just maybe, Brown is the center of the Black Ivy League Universe afterall?

Brown University's Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice was appointed in 2003 by President Ruth Simmons and charged "to organize academic events and activities that might help the nation and the Brown community think deeply, seriously, and rigorously about the questions raised" by the national debate
