The first public HBCU, Cheney University in Pennsylvania was established in 1837, and they have been a standard of academic excellence ever since, producing generations and generations of leaders, engineers, and innovators. And while we acknowledge that quality education is paramount to the HBCU experience, there are other unforgettable components of black college life that provides lifetime memories for its alumni: Black Culture, Homecomings, Marching Bands, Greek Life, thrilling athletics, famous alumni, and an “on-the-yard” experience that feels like a daily celebration.

[@dorado0359]

@Ash Hegde What an uppity and snobbish remark. Associating the success and intelligence of a student with an institution's reputation and ranking only reveals your ignorance and racist attitude towards HBCU's. I assume you inherited such an attitude and low opinion of Black colleges from that highly ranked and reputable college which you attended? Furthermore, when did white America ever recognize, rank or esteem Black colleges and universities? So to answer your question...Yes I am proud my children are HBCU graduates and proud they didn't earn their degrees from whichever snobbish, ranked and recognized HWU you attend or are an alumni.

[@sakbar958]

Hampton should be on any serious list after selling out. They lost the battle of HU by abandoning the MEAC while Howard is fighting to keep the MEAC alive.

[@sirs.746]

@@sakbar958 You’re right they should be on the list. But I don’t understand how them leaving the Meac discredits who they are as a HBCU. Nobody says that about Tenn. St. they have been in a “white” conference for years. I think they made the decision they thought was best for them at the time and in the future, along with A&T. To be honest both SWAC and MEAC have to reinvent themselves going forward.

Nothing like the foundational HBCU experience! My family is filled with HBCU grads and expect the 3rd generation to join us in 2023. As a Howard alumna and proud mother of a Morehouse man our fam also has a Spelman alumna, 2 South Carolina State Bulldogs and 1 Johnson C. Smith alum. We've obtained graduate degrees from PWI's and enjoyed rewarding careers but that unshakeable foundation was firmly established at our respective HBCU's. Embrace our institutions of higher learning!!!

[@MsJobs-fc9jp]

@Ash Hegde As the matriarch of my family, it's my opinion based on almost 7 decades of life experience in the United States, there's no better educational institutions for my grandbabies than HBCU's. There they will find a sense of community and foster meaningful relationships that will allow them to build successful networks to aid them later in life. This will better prepare them for the veiled microaggressions and inequities they will certainly face in the workplace and society as a whole. Other communities follow their traditions without ridicule my family will follow ours.

[@MsJobs-fc9jp]

@Ash Hegde My life experience has given me the wisdom to respectfully value the right of others to espouse their opinions. Having said that feel free to shepherd your family and I will continue to shepherd mine.

[@MsJobs-fc9jp]

@Ash Hegde Your deductive reasoning is flawed and based on over generalized assumptions. I'm aware of my family's net worth as well as the properties and businesses we've owned since the 1930's. Assuming you are a real person and not a bot I choose to disengage now.
