14 MAY 2024 · Black Institutions Are Still Relevant
Guest: Rev. Damien Durr
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are essential institutions in our community – educating future leaders, teachers, community activists, authors, scientists, and physicians. John Wilson’s book Hope and Healing: Black Colleges and the Future of American Democracy discusses what is necessary for HBCUs to thrive – sustainable funding is a vital strategy. We continue to uncover that many HBCUs have not received allotted federal funding or land grants. Join us as we discuss the disparate funding and support for HBCUs and what we can do to ensure their survival and prosperity.

May is Mental Health Month. It serves as a significant reminder of the importance of addressing mental health concerns and promoting overall well-being.

Join us for a conversation about how rituals can be a pathway to healing.

Creating stronger communities through public policies and laws is crucial to building a more equitable society. In order to achieve well-resourced communities, we must prioritize a legislative agenda that addresses the unique challenges faced by Black communities. A viable legislative agenda for Black communities must be comprehensive, addressing the systemic barriers that have historically prevented Black Americans from achieving full equality and empowering them to build stronger, more resilient communities.
