Roll Call! Signs You Went To An HBCU - Page 5
Classes Were Steeped In Black History
Professors at a HBCU have an unspoken duty to teach their students a lot more than just the subject of the class. Whether it was contemporary art history, political science or American lit, professors would be sure to include the works and contributions of Blacks across the diaspora. While white professors may gloss over what Blacks may have done in their respective fields, HBCU professors would spend a lot of time on unknown or lesser heard of painters, writers and politicians who paved the way but rarely received the recognition they deserved.
