In 2020, Black Americans continued a centuries-long pursuit of racial equality and justice in the streets and at the polls. Arguing that this year was not a deviation from the historic Civil Rights Movement, the contributors to this collection examine the important work of Black men and women during the previous decades to shape, expand, and preserve a multiracial American democracy. The authors of these chapters show that Black Americans have long pushed local and national leaders to ensure that all citizens reap the full benefits of the Constitution. They discuss Black women's roles in advancing national voting rights; how Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) developed "race leaders"; discriminatory news coverage and actions against it; antipoverty efforts; and the racial and gender dynamics of activist organizations. These studies show how Black activism from the mid-twentieth century to the present has led to positive changes for all Americans, holding the nation to its democratic ideals and promises. Black Citizens and American Democracy (UP of Florida, 2025) compels recognition of many unsung people who have risked their lives and livelihoods for the good of the country.

Notably, Ashley spearheaded a substantial partnership with the American Chemistry Council, which will provide 1,000 $40,000 scholarships for students pursuing STEM majors at HBCUs.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this compelling episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow engages in a powerful conversation with guest Keyshawn McMiller about a crucial yet often overlooked issue: the inadequate teaching of Black history in public schools. Together, they explore the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as essential cultural touchstones and living museums that preserve Black heritage.Gabrielle and Keyshawn share personal experiences that highlight the significance of connecting Black students with their roots through HBCUs. They examine how school curriculums frequently misrepresent or omit vital aspects of Black history, focusing predominantly on narrow topics like slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, while neglecting the rich tapestry of Black achievements and narratives.The discussion also addresses recent political debates concerning restrictions on teaching race, gender, and critical race theory, emphasizing the detrimental effects of "classroom censorship" on all students' understanding of history.

With a strong foundation in constitutional law and social justice, Baskerville's leadership has been instrumental in addressing systemic disparities in education, particularly through efforts to secure more funding for HBCUs. She has been at the forefront of litigation to ensure that these institutions receive the resources they need to continue their vital role in educating underrepresented populations and closing educational, economic, and health gaps in society. Under Baskerville's guidance, NAFEO has worked to highlight the critical importance of HBCUs as communiversities that serve not only their student bodies but also the surrounding communities. Her leadership has brought attention to the need for collaboration between HBCUs and other sectors, including tech entrepreneurs, to foster innovation and growth. Furthermore, Baskerville emphasizes the value of leadership grounded in empathy, courage, and vulnerability, inspired by the "Love Leadership" principles of John Hope Bryant. This approach has allowed her to drive significant change, from improving HBCU visibility to securing new corporate and foundation partnerships. To further support and strengthen HBCUs, consider collaborating with NAFEO and engaging with their initiatives. By contributing to these efforts, you can help empower the next generation of leaders and ensure these institutions receive the support they need to thrive.

Happy holidays from BITM! We are delighted to share this episode with you this week. Kirk and Amelia sat down with Dr. Donald Carter III, assistant professor at Mercer School of Medicine. Dr. Carter earned his Doctorate in Bioethics from Loyola University after earning a Masters in Divinity from Vanderbilt and an MBA from Tennessee State. He is a Sadler Scholar with the Hastings Center and the co-chair of the Race and Culture and Ethnicity (RACE) affinity group of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH). Dr. Carter began his career as a musician after earning a BA in music from Fisk University, one of the many Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. This episode is a great one for those who are curious about pursuing a career in Bioethics. Dr. Carter shared how he explored several career paths before ultimately finding his professional home in Bioethics. Dr. Carted discussed his work exploring the impacts of the 1910 Flexner report, which, while contributing to creating uniform standards for medical education, also resulted in the closing of 5 of the 7 medical schools within HBCUs. This is one of the reasons for the shortage of Black physicians that persists today. He discussed the importance of diversifying the field of Bioethics and the positive changes he has observed within ASBH over the past few years. He shared how he views HBCUs as an important resource to tap to help diversify the field. He recommends building up bioethics education at HBCUs as a way of fostering lasting change. He also discussed the importance of humanities in medical education, sharing his experiences using visual training strategies (VTS) in medical education, reminding us that the arts have a way of returning us to a place where we can see each other as full humans again. Dr. Carter pointed out that one of the superpowers of the field of Bioethics is that we have a large tent. He examined specific ways in which racial, cultural and professional diversity can enhance the value our field brings to patients and communities.
The global race for technological dominance is transforming how nations approach education and workforce development. In the U.S., the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act is a multibillion-dollar initiative to boost semiconductor manufacturing, counter China's influence, and drive economic growth. But what does this legislation mean for college students, higher education and workforce training? In this episode, Shalin Jyotishi, Founder of New America's Future of Work and Innovation Economy Initiative, unpacks the Act's impact on higher education and workforce development. He highlights its potential to meet the rising demand for skilled workers in high-tech industries by investing in education and training programs. Shalin also explores how the Act aims to strengthen community colleges and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), supporting innovative training programs and fostering opportunities in institutions that have traditionally been underfunded in high-tech workforce initiatives. We also examine challenges such as recent funding cuts to the National Science Foundation, political shifts, and the complexities of industrial policy. Shalin underscores the need for stronger collaboration between colleges and industry to align education with market demands and prepare students for the high-tech jobs of the future. Higher Ed Spotlight is sponsored by Chegg's Center for Digital Learning and aims to explore the future of higher education. It is produced by Antica Productions.
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 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.
