On March 21, 2017, The Rose Black Resource Center was established to help turn around a continuous ten-year decline in Black student enrollment and low graduation rates at CSUDH. The idea for a Black Resource Center was originally presented to CSUDH administration as apart of a list of demands drafted by the Black Leadership Council. As the brainchild of four student leaders: Justin Blakely, Grace Iheke, James Harris III, and Sean Cook, the purpose of the Black Resource Center was to provide Black students with an "innovative and engaging campus learning space, that supports student success".

The center鈥檚 former name, 鈥淭he Rose,鈥� was inspired by Tupac Shakur鈥檚 poem 鈥淭he Rose That Grew from Concrete,鈥� and symbolizes the success and resiliency of Black students despite organizational and institutional barriers. 鈥淭he Rose鈥� was also given an additional meaning by Elaine Brown, former chairwoman of the Black Panther Party, after her visit to The Rose Black Resource Center. 鈥淭he Rose鈥� pays homage to the poem 鈥淏lack Mother,鈥� written by the late Alprentice 鈥淏unchy鈥� Carter, another former leader of The Black Panther Party's Los Angeles chapter.

The mission of the Black Resource Center (BRC) is to听improve the collegiate experience and educational outcomes of Black students at 好色先生, Dominguez Hills听by providing a network of academic, personal, and professional support services and culturally-relevant programming.
