Paraphrasing DuBois from @toldson’s #TorchTalk @UNCFICB “One could not be a calm, cool, & detached scientist [educator] while Negroes [Black students] were [intellectually, culturally, emotionally] lynched, murdered, and starved.” -W.E.B. DuBois @CenterBlackEd #UNCFUNITE

On #RolandMartinUnfiltered, I asked the question, “Is this momentum for the moment or is this the new future for #HBCUs?” We’re working every day at @UNCF to help make sure the #HBCU story continues to be told. #UNCFUNITE @BlkStarNetwork @rolandsmartin

.@YDietra who leads the @WHI_HBCUs says HBCUs need to own their narratives. I agree. I think a more unapologetic stance is required, using data driven storytelling. #UNCFunite @UNCF – at College Park, GA
