Still a Need for HBCU’s in the 21st Century: Part 1

“If the Negro in the ghetto must eternally be fed by the hand that pushes him into the ghetto, he will never become strong enough to get out of the ghetto.” Carter G. Woodson

My son (honor student) attends Florida A&M University, my fiancée’s  sons are graduates of SCSU and Florida A&M, respectively both honors students.
