Nestled between the edge of Raleigh\u2019s historical South Park District and MLK Jr.\u00a0Blvd., is Shaw University, an African-American private institution. Driving around the\u00a0southeast end of Raleigh, people may take notice of the 150th anniversary banners\u00a0on the streetlights surrounding the University\u2019s campus. South Blount Street severs the\u00a0campus space into two sections. The Wilmington Street side of the University houses\u00a0academic buildings, the library, medical school and the faith center. The South Person\u00a0Street side of Shaw houses the residence halls and the dining hall.<\/p>\n

Driving down\u00a0Blount Street, large cement walls have given home to a mural project celebrating the 150\u00a0years of Shaw and its current contribution to the City of Raleigh. The mural is directly\u00a0above the S Blount Street bridge that connects Shaw\u2019s campus. The University\u2019s campus is compartmentalized with high-traffic roads that\u00a0lead to\u00a0Interstate 440. The act of crossing these streets is very frequent in student life. The\u00a0private institution works to maintain a safe community and was initiated to protect\u00a0the campus from heavy-traffic roads and city violence. The University has a changing\u00a0relationship between the South Park Historic District and the City of Raleigh as\u00a0gentrification begins. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, the 4th president in the past\u00a010 years, is fighting to revitalize the spirit of innovation and sustainability that\u00a0characterizes the University\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
