The core program of The Nubian Center is its Race to Harmony, which specifically addresses critical issues of race and etnic prejudice and abuses occuring in our communities today. Since its incepti in 2004, The Nubian Cultural Center has been a hub of activity for people of all ages in each community that it has served. Bringing together people of diverse backgrounds, representing the various ethinic and racial groups through seminars and the arts, we conclude our activities with resolve and intnet to embrace the unity that we experience of our shared activities.

Our activities and programs include everyone from the age of 5 plus. There are projects for children, youth, young and missle aged adults and seniors.

Starting from the premise that prejudice is rooted in ignorance. The center presents programs that are entertainment on the surface, but educational at the core.Understanding of our neighbor's differences becomes an appreciation for our neighbor's uniqueness and enhances our own pride.

The Ruth E. Mills Legacy Scholarship Fund, established in memory of Ruth Mills, a youth advocate, the program grants scholarships to young minority women who are financially challenged, but dream of higher education. The Fund reaches into the community to raise up those who are deserving, but financially challenged.

The Covenant Choir was established in 2009 as the successor to The Unity Choir. This choir is the musical home to voices from many stripes and persuasions of faith. Ever building a repertoire of Negro Spirituals, gospel, plain song and traditional hymns, reflecting the generosity of the Supreme Being in our lives. Often called upon to present programs for reflection and prayer, the choir also sings for various worship services.

Race to Harmony is the core program of The Nubian Cultural Center for Research & Development that incorporates education and cultural exchange through film, dance, seminars, exhibits and cuisine in monthly programs. Designed to maximize the mission of promoting racial and ethnic harmony through education and cultural exchange, the program will run from October through May of 2016 with a major kickoff in September.

The collaboration of both The Nubian Center & Unity empowers community communities through educational activities and programs that address critical issues that impede the growth of community growth, e.g. healthcare, education, racism, misogyny, lifestyles, economics and more. Ready to listen, learn and act, these organizations always offer a "hand up", not a "hand out" to provide healthy sustainability in their efforts to stimulate and reinforce critical values for growth, harmony and unity.
