{"value"=>"<p>The National Council for Black Studies (NCBS) was formally established, in July 1976, to promote and strengthen academic and community programs in the field of Black studies by acting as a clearinghouse for information. Comprised of educators, students, and other interested parties who are committed to the advancement of Black studies, the NCBS believes that Black academic programs should include any subject areas that have the phrase \"Black experience\" as the principle object and content of study. Programmatic components include an annual conference and student essay contests. Dr. Joseph Russell, professor of Black Studies at Indiana University, was the first executive director from 1976 to 1986, and was succeeded by Jacqueline Wade who served as Executive Director from 1990 to 1994; Dr. Hansonia Caldwell, began her term as Executive Director in 1994.</p>"}
