The Southeastern Black Press Institute (SBPI) was founded in 1977 as a demonstration project of the Curriculum in African and Afro-American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The project provided support to the black press in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Washington D.C., chiefly through technical assistance and leadership training for future journalists. Sonja Haynes Stone, the director of the Curriculum in African and Afro-American Studies, secured a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to plan and launch the project.
