Black Colleges And Universities

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) serve the educational needs of students of African descent while providing an atmosphere of nurture and guidance enriched in cultural norms. In considering how HBCUs can remain competitive, this chapter recommends that one of the first steps is to return to the basics, reviewing the historical significance, missions and traditions of HBCUs. In doing so, this work investigates the role HBCUs play in student identity and character development by looking at the history, mission and traditions of Morehouse College and Howard University. The authors, who both are alumni of these institutions, respectively, will examine relevant documents and statements from the schools as well as provide auto-ethnographic narratives explicating the impact those institutions had on their academic, social and professional successes.

The Impact

GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a federal program designed to promote college access and success for students from low-income backgrounds. Although some literature has examined K–12 outcomes, little research has explored the extent to which GEAR UP achieves its intended postsecondary objectives. The present study used a difference-in-differences design with a sample of 17,605 students to explore the impact of GEAR UP Iowa on college enrollment and persistence. The findings indicate that GEAR UP Iowa promotes the college enrollment of high school graduates by 3 to 4 percentage points, whereas it appears to have no effect on college persistence. Results are similar regardless of students’ socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, sex, and K–12 special education status.

The Impact

This paper examines the lived experiences of racialization, oppression, criminalization, and discrimination upon Black males living in Canada. The theoretical framework for my research was comprised of anti-Black racism and Critical Race Theory. These frameworks guided my research into the lived experiences of anti-Black racism against Black males. The research study used a narrative approach where Black male participants shared stories of anti-Black racism. The research entailed asking participants open-ended questions about their lived experiences of anti-Black racism and the impact it has had on their lives. The findings from the research highlighted how marginalized and racialized groups in Canada practice anti-Black racism towards Black people within public spaces. It also showed the anti-Black racism that police officers engage in against Black males within institutions that have a history of being anti-Black. The findings showed the lack of self-awareness and white supremacist beliefs that racialized groups embody when perpetuating anti-Black racism. Also, it highlighted the continuous practice by police officers who racially profile and incarcerate Black males due to their skin color. The conclusion from the study highlighted that Black males continue to experience anti-Black racism within agencies that make up the criminal justice system and the anti-Black racism that marginalized groups engage in when interacting with Black bodies.
