ATLANTA – Historically Black Colleges and Universi ATLANTA – Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) punch far above their weight.

HBCUs enroll just 9 to 10 percent of Black undergraduates. They produce roughly 20 to 25 percent of all Black STEM graduates. Despite that impact, they receive less than 1 percent of the nation’s $60 billion in federal research funding. Lawmakers now aim to close that gap through new legislation.

Sens. Raphael Warnock ’91 (D-Ga.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) introduced the HBCU Research Capacity Act. The bipartisan bill would create a centralized federal clearinghouse. The system would help HBCUs identify and apply for research grants.

ATLANTA – Students gathered in Martin Luther King ATLANTA – Students gathered in Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel on Thursday, Mar. 19, for the Bayard Rustin Crown Forum panel, “Black Queer Images As Sacred Archive”. Moderated by Reverend Quincy Rhinehart, the Associate Dean of the chapel, the panel featured Reverend O.C. Allen, pastor of Vision Cathedral, a queer-affirming Pentecostal church in Atlanta; Reverend Dr. Brandon Thomas Crowley (‘08); and Reverend Father Darrell L. Tiller (‘83). 

Together, they discussed the necessity and power of queerness throughout African-American history, particularly Black queerness in sacred and educational spaces. The panelists, all openly queer, reflected on the enduring legacy of queerness throughout Black religious and educational spaces.
