To all our future students & alumni, let this inspire you! Just so we’re clear, here is the greatness that comes from HBCUs that made this Presidency possible. Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, South Carolina State University (1962), thank you for endorsing President-Elect Joe Biden. Thank you also for your advice, that he took, to have a Black woman for a running mate (6 were on his list), that led to Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris, Howard University (1986). And of course man...y thanks to the woman with the plan, Stacey Abrams, Spelman College (1995), who did not let 2018 derail her plan. She could have continued vying for VP or answered calls to run for the Late Congressman John Lewis’ district. But she went forward and fought a different fight, continuing Lewis’ legacy (alumnus of American Baptist College & Fisk University) against voter suppression & registering over 800k voters, which resulted in Georgia going blue! Historically Black College & University alumni started this (Clyburn), were responsible for the shift & indisputable projection (Abrams) and will continue this going forward (Harris) ... in the name of a remarkable Legacy (Lewis) So the next time you hear are HBCUs still needed, they don’t prepare you ... or anything else questioning their validity, remember these individuals. #HBCUpride #HBCUadvocacy #History #OurTribe #BlackExcellence #HBCUpride #Howard University #FiskUniversity #SpelmanCollege #AmericanBaptistCollege #SouthCarolinaStateUniversity #greatness #iLoveHBCUs #proud #JohnLewis #KamalaHarris #StaceyAbrams #JimClyburn #POTUS #HBCUASD
