The history and importance of the HBCU experience | Elwood Robinson | TEDxAugusta

The educational experiences found in Historically Black Colleges and Universities are preparing students to succeed in a world that is in great need of their perspectives. Dr. Robinson provides insight into the way considering culture in under-served populations
is key to helping students learn, lead, and thrive.
Dr. Elwood Robinson is the thirteenth chancellor of Winston-Salem State University. He has over 30 years of higher education experience working at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions. He received his bachelor's and master’s degrees from HBCUs.

The HBCU experience: a period of time where you don't have your "Blackness" as a liability. It's not even a factor. You succeed or fair due to character... and they bend over backwards (most of the time) for you to win.

Ben Alemlerin Rabbi tarafindan tüm Insanliga gönderilen onun elçisiyim Yaradan bana 2007 de bir gecede kendini tanitti ve 2017 e kadarda eğitti vede ilk emrini 2019 da fakirlik haramdır diye vahyetti ( öğretti)ve bakın kardeşlerim Allahü teala nediyor.Okendilerini Allah dostu olarak ilan ettikleriniz ki,bilirseniz bu çok büyük bir söz ve bu sözle üzerinize büyük bir azabı çektiniz.Siz kutsal kitapları okuyup durduğunuz halde neden ihtiyaçtan fazlasını verin,fakirlerin hakkını verin,Faiz yemeyin savaşları durdurun demiyorsunuz eğer Bu sözleri söyleseydiniz ülkelerinizde fakirlik olmaz idi çünkü sizler çokluğuyla övünenler tüm cemaatler ve tarikatler,hiristiyanların lideri papa yahudilerin hahamları sizler Rabbimizin sevgisi için değil dünyalık ve saltanat için insanları kullandınız,Ama hayır çok yakında sizler ve size inananlar azabı göreceksiniz ve yaptıklarınızdan hesaba çekileceksiniz. RABBIMİZ güzel sözlü ve doğruyu söyleyendir...!.

[@gypseguera5132]

It breaks my heart that Potus Trump signed Executive Orders to help HBCU and no one is saying anything. Mainstream Media and most importantly HBCU. Not even thank you. smh

[@hopenorris3477]

Gypse Guera HE DID NOTHING!!!

[@kimberlymelvin2571]

Trump is all talk and no substance. He took advantage of the HBCU Presidents for a photo op.

[@Taedjaire]

What did Trump do for HBCU's???? Cut our funds???? Reduce the amount of financial aid we receive???? Please tell me because I'm confused...

[@moniquebaskett338]

Tae Djair Obama did that.

[@ncbadboy7]

Lincoln signed to win the unions war...trust we were used to win his war. We are still at war.

[@Blackstaar52]

go to a real school kids

[@keldawott7406]

wtf is that supposed to mean

[@TLaelSimmons]

HBCUs are most certainly “real” institutions - they produce a diverse range of community leaders, teachers, judges, nurses, entrepreneurs, medical doctors, dentists - without them many “kids” wouldn’t have a limitless future
