The first HBCU was founded in 1837, and today, more than 100 colleges and universities are registered under the HBCU banner. The powerful bonds and traditions from attending an HBCU often extend well beyond attendee’s college years — like the Divine Nine sororities now supporting their Alpha Kappa Alpha sister and 2024 Presidential Nominee, Kamala Harris. Historically Black documents not only HBCU cultural traditions like legacy wielding marching bands and impressive homecomings but also the remarkable stories of former students as their global impact grows.
HBCU attendees in the book include: Booker T. Washington, James Weldon Johnson, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, W.E.B. Du Bois, Mary McLeod Bethune, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Zora Neale Hurston, Howard Thurman, Langston Hughes, Thurgood Marshall, Bayard Rustin, Dorothy Vaughan, Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, Leontyne Price, Martin Luther King, Jr., Toni Morrison, John Lewis, Bob Hayes, Oprah Winfrey, Kamala Harris, Hakeem M. Oluseyi, Taraji P. Henson, Erykah Badu, Stacey Abrams, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Chadwick Boseman, Hebru Brantley, Ibram X. Kendi, J.R. Smith, Megan Thee Stallion, and Mo’ne Davis.
