Representation. Exposure. Culture. Community. 🖤

That photo of a Morehouse professor holding his student’s baby so he could take notes is about so much more than kindness. It represents community, support, and seeing ourselves reflected in spaces of higher education.

For many of our Black children here in Orange County, they may not see much Black culture represented throughout their school day. That’s why experiences like an HBCU college tour matter. Even if they ultimately choose another path, let them experience campuses where Black excellence, history, tradition and culture surround them.

There are still spaces available for the HBCU Homecoming Tour, October 26–November 1, including the 100th Anniversary Homecoming at NC A&T! 💙💛

Financial concerns? Fundraising opportunities are available to help offset the cost. Call 734-307-2060 for more information.

Sometimes you have to show a child another world before they can imagine themselves in it. 🖤
