John — Do you know how many HBCU grads you know? You might be one, you might be married to one, you might be employed by one, and if you’re in GA-04, you’re represented by one.
John — I’ll always cherish my time at Clark College (now Clark Atlanta.) The work that HBCUs do to prepare our students for the real world, and produce some of the brightest Black individuals America has seen, is vital to the well-being of our country. Can you chip-in right now so I can keep fighting for historically Black colleges and universities?
Will you pitch in RIGHT NOW to help Hank fight for HBCUs?
HBCUs were not just vital to my development, but vital to the development of thousands of doctors, lawyers, politicians, CEOs, and business leaders. These institutions have suffered greatly over the decades, with declining rates of admission and little to no government help during their times of need.
The Biden Administration took necessary first steps to support our HBCUs, including over $3 billion in the new American Rescue Plan. My colleagues and I passed the American Rescue Plan because we knew it was critical to invest to save our HBCUs. Can you chip-in right now to keep me fighting for our HBCUs?
A vast majority of Black colleges and universities were founded with the ideals that, at the time, America itself wasn’t representing. HBCUs prioritize developing students as individuals, and students, specifically Black students, report feeling happier and more supported than their counterparts at predominantly white institutions.
America needs its HBCUs.
