Why College-Educated Black Women Are Threats in 2021
College-educated Black women are a threat ─ to the white American supremacy and higher education as we know it. Threats are meant to intimidate ─ to threaten is to give signs or warnings, to announce with intent or possibility, to cause to feel insecure or anxious.

Warning signs ahead!

Black Colleges and Universities: Charting a Path to Transformational
Recent, so-called “transformational” gifts to HBCUs, most notably MacKenzie Scott’s multi-million dollar beneficence to twenty-two public and private HBCUs, present huge opportunities to reimagine and reposition some extraordinary institutions. No reasonable person can deny that these gifts with no strings attached represent a significant investment in these schools as well as an affirmation of their worth.

These monies have the potential to be transformational only if meaningful conversations occur among institutional leadership, governing boards and stakeholders.
