Our HBCUs: They Have Overcome And Will Do So Again.

Today America has 101 HBCUs located in 19 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These institutions had to overcome tremendous obstacles just to come into existence. They are adversity-hardened and time-tested. Working together, and working with willing partners in both public and private sectors, these institutions are destined to prevail over the challenges presented by the coronavirus. I am confident they will innovate new and better norms in higher education that will serve today’s students—and future generations of students—quite well.
