Preserve the MIT Black Experience
As stewards of your financial gifts, the MIT Black History Project strives to improve and build on the enormous contributions of resources, effort, and time invested by many individuals and entities at MIT.
Our mission is to weave a continuous living fabric of moments that reveal the genius of individuals working in the sciences, engineering, and other disciplines for which the Institute is known.
