Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr, oh how we APPRECIATE you!! There's not a Saturday when you're not working tirelessly to educate, elucidate and illuminate us as to happenings in our community! Many of us are not in these spheres where we'd necessarily hear/learn about these topics. But you two never fail to keep us in the loop! Blessings to you both!!🙏🏾💯

[@Yusuf-pm7uc]

Yes Thank You!

[@sharenmckinney-alston9202]

Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr for providing such a rich wealth of knowledge for us. I am a 72- year - old retired educator, ( 36 years with the NYC Dept of Ed. Teacher, Asst. Prin., then Principal) and had considered myself pretty knowledgeable about African American history yet, I sit with my pen and notebook while viewing your presentation and find myself constantly asking myself, ‘how did I not know that’? when Dr. Carr is just dropping knowledge. Genuinely valuable pearls of essential wisdom! I find my Amazon bill has increased astronomically because every time Dr. Carr holds up or references a book I feel I must have it to expand my knowledge. Just not enough hours in the day, ( sigh). And yes, I did join Knarrative quite a few months ago hoping that somehow all the books he mentioned would be listed. I think it was mentioned that there would be annotations. I think it’s taking awhile to annotate all of the classes, especially the more recent ones. I’ll be patient. 🥰 Keep teaching us because learning is lifelong and continuous! Always something new to add to our arsenal. Love you guys!

[@KarenHunterShow]

You are not alone...I'm grateful that I had so many credits stored up on my audible account. And I have purchased quite a few books that aren't available in anything but hardcover or paperback. It's beautiful the libraries we are building.

Been waiting on this Saturday morning spiritual meal all week Dr Hunter and Dr Carr

[@blackfamilyhomeschool]

The conversation about colleges being hedge funds was so deep and I hope you do a full show on this as Black students are more likely to amass large debt to attend school. My homeschooled daughter got full scholarships to numerous PWIs but virtually nothing from both public and private HBCUs. We also need to be encouraging our children to attend community colleges first instead of entering universities without the money and skills necessary to be self-sustaining in college environments.

[@Nisa1971]

Loved this live in Knubia with our community first! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 This is a real governance structure conversation that has been happening for some time but not resolved. I graduated from an HBCU and thoroughly appreciated this conversation sadly not much has changed since I graduated almost 30 years ago. Thank you Dr. Carr and Professor Hunter! As an aside, like always I'm here for the 2nd viewing I always enjoy and the algorithm! We keep pushing forward!

[@migueljackson6420]

Thank you sharing wisdom and knowledge every Saturday! I'm a UNC-CH alum. I truly hate what happened to Nikole Hannah-Jones and how she was treated. A lot of people were excited she was joining the faculty. The outcome was not unexpected or a surprise given the current legislature and BOT in NC and UNC-CH respectively. I truly hope Hannah-Jones is trying to help the professors who are not tenured at Howard with the same vigor as those at UNC-CH who protested for her to receive the much deserved tenured position she worked hard for. The professors who are not tenured at Howard deserve tenure too.

Thanks Dr CARR Prof Hunter, was having Brunch with a friend yesterday her daughter attends Howard U. Thanks for shedding light on what’s going on.

[@jtoni8352]

I appreciate this conversation. Our HBCUs need to do right by our children. I did want to add, that I went two pwis for higher education (I started at one and transferred to another). There were issues at both with food and housing. The first one, the students protested the food that was being served, poor quality, nasty, no choices. We met with the dean and the company to demand better options/quality etc.. . The second school kicked all of the returning juniors and seniors off of campus, told them this a month before the semester was about to start. It was a point of contention for years with the student body. They then kicked almost half of the sophomores off the following year. The university finally resolved the issue for the most part but it was a huge issue. Parents calling and student protesting. I bring this up because we don't hear about the real systemic issues that some of these pwis have. They are not all rosy, especially the smaller schools operating on a smaller budget. We never hear about those because the social structure makes sure we never hear about it. I think the issue with HBCUs speaks to the issue of higher education. Dr. Carr is right this model is not sustainable. Companies like Chartwells are making millions and millions of dollars to so say feed our children at all these colleges. Same company feeding all the schools, but don't think they don't make sure food is better at some schools than others. HBCUs need to back away from modeling pwis. Because quiet as it is kept they ARE currently modeling them and that is the problem.

Professor Hunter, I normally wait to comment on an episode once I have listened in completion, but today God did not have that protocol in store for me. I stopped dead in my tracks at 8:03 when you virtually alluded to HBCU’s being PWI’s in Black face to exact the impediments and atrocities on its students to literally “save face.” This sole lens of viewing these institutions has been on my mind since I learned the origins of Speakman, Morehouse and Howard back in ‘09. WHEW! Okay back to listening.

It's been a busy week and I'm behind on "In Class" & "Office Hours". I've been watching the Blackburn Takeover since it started and knew sooner or later Dr Carr was going to speak on it. Exceptional breakdown of the role of HBCU's, black college protest and black college management and maintenence. Much needed approach to the problem that is generational (Hampton grad & legacy here).

Great conversation. I hope there are more conversations on HBCUs. You can give of your time, talent, or treasure. Many of our institutions don't want the time and the talent offered. They focus on treasure and when received where does that go? What are the presidents and boards of trustees driving to campus? I totally understand why the students are protesting.

[@paschajefferson5699]

It's interesting to see this play out. When I was an undergrad knocking on the doors of HBCUs being a child of the west, in the mid 90s, no one answered. Either my parents made too much money on paper only because we were a one paycheck, one car family or I wasn't smart or destitute enough, meaning I wasn't a pregnant teen mother or suffered some type of sexual violence. I was smart and knew what I wanted just not clear of the direction to get there. I did not know of the terms governance and social structure at the time I just knew money and my family did not have any to offer me to go to school but I went and still paying.

Aloha Prof Carr and Prof Hunter! ANOTHER AWESOME class! Ase I have been wondering though if charging a membership fee might be preventing a whole lot of black folks, who can't afford it, from being able to learn, grow, and share in the Knarrative/Knubia content?? I did hear you both mention in the intro of Knarrative that there were a few scholarships given out. Are they still being given? Prof Hunter I remember you saying that you didn't necessarily want Knubia to get too big (God may have other plans) however I do wish that as many black people as possible could have access to this knowledge. We sure do need it. I had a membership but had to put it on hold for a bit..I do however watch almost every Saturday! Dr. Carr you are AMAZING!!! Thank you both for your time and for sharing knowledge! Ase Ase Aseo Blessings!🙏

[@ellalynkhayeslcsw1914]

This is a humble opinion and not insensitive to those who struggle financially, at times I’m one of them. I appreciate the sacrifice you made to join. God knows that too. Many Black folk find money to do and get a lot of things that they don’t need, ie sneakers, hair, nails and other stuff. The fee to join Knubia/knarrative is fair and nominal. Please don’t suggest that it is too high. Did you see the LV bag that some misguided person will probably buy. I suggest sponsoring someone, or donating a scholarship for someone. We have to pay for and support this kind of excellence. I even find myself conscientiously evaluating where and on what I spend my money since being a part of the Saturday classes.

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

When I first heard Knarrative had a yearly subscription, I knew I was signing up. I was intentional about the very next invoice I had fulfilled after hearing the announcement. I knew how much each class cost in undergrad, I understand how much I have paid for online courses, and books from the bookstore over the last two decades. This price is beyond nominal. You are listening to two people, who individually command 5 figures for a single speaking engagement and you get them BOTH once a week, plus cameos in Knubia. They are going more in depth in a day than some syllabi, professors or courses go in a semester, maybe even a year. As listeners, as citizens, as students we have to be “the bricks” that build what we know is needed. Same way we pay tuition at a private or post secondary public institution. I am telling you, sow into this. What you learned today paid for it in spades. Just an expanded perspective on “to charge” or “not to charge.” Those that really want it will make it a priority and understand “why” it is critical to our mental, psychological and emotional annexation from the social structure.

[@sage4life691]

@@MooreVoicesMedia Aloha and greetings! I agree with most of what you're saying here. However "nominal" is a relative term. I personally have every intention to continue sowing into this awesome platform in the very near future when my finances permits, but I don't think it's fair to paint everyone with such a broad brush. You shouldn't apply the spending habits of some to ALL blackfolks! We are still in the middle of a pandemic and even before that many black folks , responsible black folks, were struggling financially! As for what's being offered, no argument here. I totally agree with you regarding the quality of Knarritive/Knubia and I deeply appreciate the work that Prof Hunter, Dr Carr, and the entire team have accomplished in a relatively short period of time.
