    Black Institutions Are Still Relevant
    Guest: Rev. Damien Durr

    Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are essential institutions in our community – educating future leaders, teachers, community activists, authors, scientists, and physicians. John Wilson’s book Hope and Healing: Black Colleges and the Future of American Democracy discusses what is necessary for HBCUs to thrive – sustainable funding is a vital strategy. We continue to uncover that many HBCUs have not received allotted federal funding or land grants. Join us as we discuss the disparate funding and support for HBCUs and what we can do to ensure their survival and prosperity.
