Are Historically Black Colleges and Universities understood? Do HBCUs foster Black unity and radicalism or conservative acceptance of and adherence to establishment whims? What was the role of the HBCU historically versus today? We talked about this and much more with Dr. Jelani Favors whose new book: Shelter in a Time of Storm How Black Colleges Fostered Generations of Leadership and Activism has just been published on North Carolina University Press.
What Favors is saying about Black student newspapers can be applied to the Black press in general. The ideological spectrum of the Black press is just beginning to be taken seriously.
