Since its founding in 1957, Bronx Community College has demonstrated a rich history of Black achievement, from presidential firsts to grassroots student protests.

We Must Stand United” explores the contributions of history makers such as James Colston, Roscoe Brown, and countless generations of students who have made BCC a center of Black activism.

BCC’s history and legacy offers less well-known but equally crucial contributions to African-American struggle, protest, and social justice, and in turn, the history of the United States.

This is a glimpse into the vibrant history of this important American institution.
