Mission
“Education means emancipation. It means light and liberty. It means the uplifting of the soul of man [humankind] into the glorious light of truth, the light by which men [and women] can only be made free.” – Frederick Douglass, Blessings of Liberty and Education. Speech. 1894

Rising from the bonds of slavery, Frederick Douglass became an abolitionist, social justice educator, and civil rights leader. In the spirit of his life’s work, The Society and West Chester University are committed to inclusive excellence by promoting empowerment through education, social justice through civic engagement, and the advancement of human rights through thoughtful public dialogue. Society members include faculty, administrators, staff, and students who provide leadership, support, and guidance to the West Chester University community regarding multi-cultural education, empowerment, and equality. We invite partners in our fulfillment of this mission.
