NPHC Plaza

History and Significance
Built on a promise, the expression "forty acres and a mule" referenced land that was to be divided into 40-acre plots shortly after the Civil War and provided to freed slaves as reparations for slavery. It was agreed that each family would receive forty acres and would be supplied army mules to work their land; however, the federal government failed to follow through with this order.

In 1865, African Americans believed that ownership was the best way to secure the feeling and recognition of freedom and
opportunity. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) use plots today as a symbolic representation of their belonging to college and university campuses across the nation.

Through the unified efforts of the 鲍鱼tv NPHC, Student Government, Office of the Provost, Student Success, and with the support of the 鲍鱼tv Student Body we have constructed the 鲍鱼tv National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza.

鲍鱼tv is the first, non-Historically Black College and University (HBCU), state institution in Florida to build physical representation for this underrepresented population. There is a deep historical significance to this development that celebrates and honors the achievements of the NPHC members along with their contributions to college/university campuses and surrounding communities both locally and nationally.

The Ribbon Cutting event was held on February 1, 2019. Thank you to all of the participants and attendees for making this such a memorable occasion.
