- The bell hooks center From the website: "The bell hooks center is an inclusive space where historically underrepresented students can come to be as they are, outside of the social scripts that circumscribe their living. We curate programs, collaborations and events that affirm these students’ sense of self and belonging—on campus and in the world. Our work is motivated by bell hooks’ famous insights that “patriarchy has no gender” and that, therefore, 'feminism is for everybody.'"

It was established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans." from the website.
