Celebrating my 40th birthday with a mission, we aim to secure 40 new donors for the From A&T to PhD Endowed Scholarship at North Carolina A&T State University. This episode promises heartfelt stories from A&T alumni Brittany Patrick and Terrell Morton, who share their deep-rooted connections to the university, emphasizing the endowment's significance in fostering educational greatness. Tune in as we commit 100% of our podcast profits from June and July to this scholarship, supporting educators on their graduate journeys.
We explore the vibrant and unique experience of attending an HBCU, shining a spotlight on Alabama A&M University. You’ll hear about the tight-knit community, the rich culture, and the life-changing relationships with professors that shape careers, turning students into influential writers and authors. Through their stories, we underscore the distinctiveness of HBCU experiences compared to predominantly white institutions, making a compelling case for why these schools are invaluable.
In addition, we tackle the pressing issue of historical funding inequities faced by HBCUs. Joined by Adam Harris, author of "The State Must Provide," we delve into the systemic financial disparities and the critical need for sustainable funding solutions. We also examine the larger narrative of racial inequities in higher education, from state failures to provide fair funding to the ongoing struggle for equitable support. This episode is a powerful call to action, advocating for the From A&T to PhD Endowed Scholarship and the enduring importance of HBCUs in American society.
