MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE HBCU LEGACY

HBCUs have been the cornerstone of educational advancement since the 1800s and we must work to ensure their permanence in U.S. History.

The sustainability of many HBCUs is at risk. To date, 23 HBCUs have closed and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic has only resulted in a heightened threat to several others.
Join us in restoring and preserving the legacy of our beloved HBCUs.
