On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Deondra Rose discuss her book, 'The Power of Black Excellence: HBCUs and the Fight for American Democracy,' which explores the historical significance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in promoting education, political engagement, and civil rights for Black Americans. Dr. Rose emphasizes the unique role of HBCUs in fostering leadership and challenging systemic racism, while also exploring the evolution of higher education's purpose from citizenship to employment. Their discussion also touches on the connection between religion and HBCUs, the future of democracy, and the need for critical thinking in the face of disinformation. Dr. Rose encourages listeners to support their local HBCUs as vital institutions for democracy and social progress.Make sure to check out Dr. Rose's book: The Power of Black Excellence: HBCUs and the Fight for American Democracy

From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in enhancing American democracy. In The Power of Black Excellence: HBCUs and the Fight for American Democracy (Oxford UP, 2024), Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1837. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Rose challenges the conventional wisdom that, prior to the late twentieth century, the federal government took a laissez-faire approach to education. Instead, governmental action contributed to the expansion of HBCUs in an era plagued by racist policies and laws. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders--including Kamala Harris--who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service. A fresh look into the relationship between education and democracy, The Power of Black Excellence is essential reading for anyone interested not just in HBCUs, but the broader trajectory of Black citizenship in American history.

In this episode, we have a discussion with Dr. Deondra Rose about her book “Citizens by Degree: Higher Education Policy and the Changing Gender Dynamics of American Citizenship.” Dr. Rose is an Assistant Professor at the Sanford School of Public Policy with a secondary appointment in the Department of Political Science. Also, joining the discussion is NCCU Law professor and Mayor of Carrboro, N.C., Lydia Lavelle.

The college admissions scandal finds the rich still buying their way into elite colleges, drawing attention to the role of college in perpetuating inequality. But university education remains a source of social mobility and increasing group equality in America. Deondra Rose finds that federal higher education policy empowered women to become majorities of college graduates and voters. Yet recent trends in the economics of higher education have been less positive. Brendan Cantwell finds that inequalities between colleges are increasing, leaving poor students to pay the price in higher tuition and loans. Policy is central to higher education's roles in both equalizing opportunity and undermining mobility. Photo credit: https://www.pexels.com/photo/steel-gate-of-brown-brick-building-159490/

Deondra Rose has written Citizens by Degree: Higher Education Policy and the Changing Gender Dynamics of American Citizenship (Oxford University Press, 2018). She is an assistant professor of public policy and political science at Duke University. Citizens by Degree examines the development and impact of federal higher education policy, specifically the National Defense Education Act, the Higher Education Act, and Title IX. Rose argues that these policies have been an overlooked-factor driving the progress that women have made in the United States. By significantly expanding women's access to college, they led to women to surpassing men as the recipients of bachelor's degrees, while also empowering them to become more economically successful and politically engaged. The book focuses on how Southern Democrats shaped U.S. higher policy development during the mid-twentieth century, expanding opportunities for women, while maintaining discriminatory practices for African Americans.
