This Project is housed at historically Black Claflin University, Orangeburg, SC as an initiative of the Jonathan Jasper Wright Institute for the Study of Southern African American History, Culture and Policy. Collaboration with other institutions and organizations having similar goals is a key element in the success of the Project. Brown vs. Board of Education does not belong exclusively to historians and political scientists and the data collected will be useful for varying types of scholarly and community initiatives.

Four scholar-activists initiated the Project: historian Constance Curry, family therapist Vanessa Jackson, political scientist Dr. Paula Quick-Hall, and project director Dr. Millicent Brown (a South Carolina "first child").
