Why Colleges of Cultural Significance Are Essential to Our Global Society
For over a period of about 100 years, Historically Black Colleges (HBCU’s) have not only educated minorities that suffer having a voice in today’s global society, but has given them economic opportunities as well as impressionable values and merits to instill in their daily lives. Faith, community, service, physical, mental, and especially emotional support are just a few variables you can acquire at an HBCU. HBCU’s were not manifested as a means to take from any other institution like ‘debates’ forewarn, but to serve as a foundation for the more than 70% student population qualifying for Federal Pell Grants and 80% receiving Federal Loans (Lomax). These individuals are predominately African American due to an array of evident hardships. Together, The United States of America can make an impact if we focus more on what is relevant—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, which are the more critical industries and factors of our future. Yet, it is imperative that regardless of ethnic background, we continue to recognize the issues that perpetrate a plummet in our education system(s) that will inevitably impact the future to come of any country.
