THE FOUNDER
JAMES E. SHEPARD was born Nov. 3, 1875, in Raleigh, the son of the
Rev. Augustus and Mrs. Harriet Whitted Shepard. He received undergraduate
and professional training at Shaw University, from which he graduated in 1894.
Te next year he married Annie Day Robinson, a descendant of Tomas Day, a
famed North Carolina furniture maker.

Te Shepards had three daughters, Marjorie A. Shepard, Annie Day Shepard
Smith, and Marion Shepard, who died in infancy. Te family legacy continues
through the two daughters of Annie Day Shepard Smith, Annie Day Smith
Donaldson and Carolyn Marie Smith Green, their children, and Mrs. Green’s
grandchildren.

Soon after his graduation, Shepard opened a pharmacy business in Durham, and
he continued his education in theology and related studies. From 1905 to 1909, he
traveled nationally and internationally as feld superintendent for the International
Sunday School Association, whose goal was a standardized Christian education
curriculum across denominational lines.

By 1909, he had decided to start his school to train pastors and educate African-Americans, who were shut out of most
opportunities for higher education by Jim Crow laws. Te frst 130 students arrived in 1910 when the school opened as
the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. It was supported by the philanthropy of
Dr. Shepard’s numerous black and white friends in both the North and the South. Te institution struggled in its early years
and sufered two devastating fres. Undeterred, Shepard would reconfgure the school and press on. He was a constant presence
on campus. He demanded decorum and stellar behavior of students and faculty. From his home and from his ofce, he kept a
close watch on the students’ comings and goings.

Shepard also played key roles in the founding of major fnancial institutions that serve African-Americans to this day.
He became a sought-after speaker nationally. He lent his infuence at the state and federal levels to increasing public aid to
African-American education.

He died in his NCCU home on Oct. 6, 1947. Te tiny enterprise had grown to a physical plant worth $2 million, with state
appropriations that year of an additional $2 million. At the time of his passing, African-Americans could earn an array of
degrees from then North Carolina College at Durham, including law and nursing.

                        FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING
                                           SHAUNTAE BROWN WHITE, PH.D., professor in the Department of
                                           Mass Communication, joined the faculty of North Carolina Central University in
                                           2007.

                                           Before joining NCCU, she was an associate professor at Miami University. Brown
                                           White also previously served as an adjunct assistant professor at the University of
                                           Cincinnati and held other roles at the University of Kansas.

                                           Brown White’s teaching specialties and research interests include women’s and
                                           gender studies, communication studies, speech communication and media studies.
                                           In her courses, she strives to make subjects relevant to students and give them an
                                           enhanced learning experience.

                                           She also develops courses around her research. Decoding complex television shows
                                           such as HBO’s “Te Wire” and interpreting the works of writer and producer Tyler
                                           Perry are often elements of her courses. She also examines media images of African
                                           American women and African American women in flm.

While at NCCU, Brown White has served as a faculty marshal for university events and faculty advisor to the Lambda Pi Eta
Honor Society. She has also worked on a number of university committees formed to enhance the intellectual climate at NCCU.

In 2016, as the inaugural coordinator of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, she was instrumental in implementing
course curriculum for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Brown White’s accomplishments include several literary works, book chapters and journal articles on the life experiences and
media representations of black women. In 2019, she wrote “Representations of Black Womanhood: Being Mara Brock Akil” and,
in 2017, released “Te First Lady: African American Pastors’ Wives in Teir Own Words.”

She also has penned spiritual guides, including “Communication Matters: A Biblical Study to Speaking Life into Your
Relationships” and “Communication Matters: 31-Days to Speaking Life into Your Relationships.”

Brown White holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Howard University and a master’s degree in speech communication
from the University of Alabama. She also earned a doctorate in communication studies from the University of Kansas.
