I’m an HBCU product, through and through (Thee I Love). I love HBCUs. The pros, the cons, the ups, the downs. I love it all. Admittedly, when I first entered an HBCU, coming from a vast majority white high school, I was slightly pessimistic. Even though I grew up around the HBCU experience, with my father being a tenured professor at Jackson State University, for whatever reason, I wasn’t sold.
