YEARS OF SERVICE
On September 24th, 1992 many students gathered in the Brickyard to protest an editiorial that was written in a previous edition of the Technician. In the months prior many students lobbied for a free standing African American Cultural Center on the campuses of NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill. In the editorial Steve Crisp called the protesters of the cause racists which drew much criticism. So on the morning of the 24th, students gathered in the Brickyard and burned copied of the Technician and called for the creation of a newspaper that would give African American students a visible voice on campus and would later be coined “The Nubian Message.” 19 Years Ago, the first issue of the Nubian Message was released to the public. From that point on the publication promised to be the Sentinel of the African American Community at NC State. This photo was featured in a 1992 edition of the Technician
