The Marian Cheek Jackson Center for Saving and Making History is a community-based organization located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The center was established in honor of Marian Cheek Jackson, a civil rights activist and community leader who fought for racial and social justice in Chapel Hill.

The center aims to preserve the history and culture of the Northside and Pine Knolls neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, which were historically African American communities. It provides a range of programs and services that celebrate the contributions and experiences of these communities, including oral history projects, community events, and educational programs.

The center also works to address social and economic inequalities in the community through advocacy and community organizing. It partners with local organizations and individuals to promote equitable access to education, healthcare, and affordable housing.

The Marian Cheek Jackson Center is housed in a historic building that was formerly a segregated elementary school. The building has been renovated to serve as a community space and includes a museum, a library, and meeting rooms. The center is open to the public and welcomes visitors to learn about the history and culture of Chapel Hill's African American communities.
