“The Black University already exists; it’s for us to recognize it, not to create it. Our work is crystal-clear. The question is, are we teachers ready to learn—are we leaders ready to follow?”

Please encourage students to submit a 5-10 minute film on any aspect of the rich history and culture of HBCUs. There will be cash prizes and the opportunity for students to screen their films in front of a national audience.

In 1991 Esther Rolle starred in a one woman play on Mrs. Bethune, which was titled Bethune. The play was written by Steve Carter and directed by Curtis King. Check out the play! #marymcleodbethune

Yes. In 1984 Robert Satcher Sr. served briefly as interim president of Fisk University while his brother David was president of Meharry Medical College across the street. I'm sure there are probably other more recent examples.
I'm excited to announce the publication of my article, "'A New Era of Black Thought': Revisiting Gil Scott-Heron and the HBCU Protest Novel," in the latest issue of The Vermont Connection!

I got so excited about the B&N special that I shared the book cover without giving it a special "debut announcement." I am thrilled to share the cover of my next book, A FORGOTTEN MIGRATION. Isn't it beautiful?!? 1/

.@SpelmanPres says a historic $100 million donation to @SpelmanCollege shows that “it’s worth investing in HBCUs more broadly.”
Dr. Helene Gayle tells CBS Mornings how the school plans to use the money in “securing the future” for students in the years to come.
