摘要
Little is known about the involvement of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in university-community partnerships. This article describes the planning process in a partnership, named the e-City Initiative, between Jackson State University and its surrounding community. The article highlights the role of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning faculty in facilitating greater participation and decision-making of e-City inhabitants in the planning process. It provides the voice of residents, business owners and other stakeholders living, learning and working in e-City neighborhoods. The article concludes with observations about HBCU university-community partnerships involved in revitalization that engender citizen participation and social justice, and offers suggestions for increasing HBCU public scholarship in the planning and service learning literatures.
