Historically Black Colleges' and Universities are the bedrock and a cornerstone of educational excellence in
our community. We must make sure our schools, students, staff, & alumni have the support they need in
these challenging times,” said Khalil Thompson, Executive Director of Black Men Engaged. “Being able to
connect these HBCU leaders to hear their stories of resilience, continues to inspire us all to #taketheshot to
get through this pandemic. Also, the education on these campuses could very well find the solution to this
scourge.
