Having been in the trenches of HBCUs for most of my life as a student, administrator and instructor, I know first-hand the difficulties our institutions face.  I believe, however, that HBCUs have the capacity to turn around their fortunes.

The Possible Intersection Between the Elimination of the GRE’s and Interest Convergence
In light of that fact that issues of race and racism are deeply rooted in U.S. society, it is possible for race and racism to be attached to the policies, practices, procedures, and institutionalized systems of higher education.

Resistance Strategies for Black Graduate Students in Higher Education
Being a Black woman at a predominantly White institution (PWI), I experience simultaneously racialized and gendered encounters that leave me feeling anxious and incensed.
