We are so proud of our summer 2022 cohort member, Kalaya! The bravery and thoughtfulness it takes to speak on such important issues exemplifies the HBCU spirit.

For Kalaya Sibley, 20, attending an HBCU meant carrying on a family tradition. However, the recent changes are pushing her out.

“I don’t see myself attending law school in a southern state,” said Sibley, holding back tears. https://t.co/Djvm94baPO

HBCUs represent just 3% of the nation's four year institutions, yet they educate 80% of all black judges, 50% of all black lawyers and doctors, and 25% of black science, technology, math and engineer graduates.

Thinking of the students whose education and safety have been disrupted by the bomb threats received by 6 HBCUs this morning. Black students, like all students, must have the right to learn and live in a safe environment, uninhibited by threats of violence.
