Journalist Ron Stodghill, author of “Where Everybody Looks Like Me: At the Crossroads of America's Black Colleges and Culture” believes it’s unfair to compare the endowment of HBCUs to that of predominantly white institutions .
“I think HBCUs could use a morale boost right now,” he said. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic. They’ve always been kind of fragile financially. So to put them in a position where they get a level of prominence that she brings is a great thing. I also think that, uh, probably since … if [Harris and Biden] were to wind up in the White House, I think it’d be an epic moment full of possibility.”
Rep. Alma Adams of North Carolina, a proud North Carolina A&T graduate and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., says that despite funding challenges for HBCUs, the institutions have found a way to make it work. “I was the poor Black girl growing up in the ghetto and now able to walk the halls of Congress,” Adams said. “I went on to do my PhD at the Ohio State University, but only because of the North Carolina A&T [experience], an HBCU. We have a history of really molding and shaping and making those kinds of investments.”
“Many young people are concerned about the future and want to be a part of the solutions,” Toldson added. “MBK began in the White House, but had decentralized control that empowered local leaders. VP Biden and Sen. Harris can learn from that approach.”
Does Yahoo ever right an article about when a Democrat has done something wrong?
Why didn’t the Democrats mention one instance of the insanity of rioting in Democratic run states ? Um 😐
Kamala deserves a lot of credit for going to HBCU when she could have benefited from affirmative action to go to ivys.
You gonna disable comments here too?
HBCUs acronym for Historical Black College & Univer.. is 'not' racist just like Harvard & Yale 'accepts' a 'few' poc, so do the HBCUs, which doesn't make her 'black'her mom put 'Causaian' on her Birth Certificate although Indian& she identifies as Indian 1st not American or blk

I am white as you can get and yet Kamalas family owned more slaves than mine. It’s not even close.
