Powerful and provocative read worthy of more conversation. The history of HBCUs as well as segregation in education and experiments in integration is quite complex. The path is ongoing! To your point that they are needed speaks to the role they play and why… Would love to hear more …. First person narrative of what I like to call our educational genealogy is so compelling. You imply that we all have and should have a choice in the matter of how and where and when we are educated! I am loving the space where we discuss this further. Thank you!
