Welcome
The Ledonia Wright Cultural Center opened its doors in October of 1995 on the campus of East Carolina University. It is named for a popular and respected university professor who advised the university's first African-American student organization. The Center, a freestanding structure located in the heart of East Carolina University's main campus, serves as a facility for research, educational programming and as the repository for the university's collection of African and African-American art.
Located in the Bloxton House in the heart of the University's east campus, the Center features a newspaper reading room, a main lounge and reception area, two conference rooms, and an art gallery where Native American, African and African-American art is on display. Works of art by former East Carolina students are featured throughout the Center.
