The Center for Religion and Cities (CRC) at Morgan State University, with generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation, helps to grow innovative, collaborative solutions for improving the quality of life in our Cities.

We are a collective of community partners, academics, students, and supporters working collaboratively to learn about and critically engage unjust structures in our cities and to support and grow innovative solutions to more equitable futures through mentorships for BIPOC students and emerging leaders, deep listening practices, collaborative projects, public programming, and funding opportunities.

Congratulations to our collective for our first four years of amazing work! Read more in our inaugural newsletter v1.1

The Center for Religion and Cities (CRC) honors the Susquehannock and Piscataway whose ancestral lands include Baltimore and the Chumash, Tataviam, and Tongva whose ancestral homelands include Los Angeles. We acknowledge that every city is built upon Indigenous homelands. As an organization, the CRC is exploring how the histories of colonialism and legacies of Indigenous resistance, survival, and sovereignty shape our scholarship and community work. We also acknowledge that the physical and economic development of many cities in the US was built upon the unpaid labor, enslavement, and exploitation of Africans and their descendants. We invite you to learn more about our work on Land Acknowledgments here.
