Originally recorded by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, The Four Tops made “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got)” their own with Levi Stubbs turning devotion into soul testimony and gratitude into a timeless love anthem.
At the 2026 Sports Emmy® Awards, a team of Morehouse College student filmmakers took home the $25,000 Coca-Cola HBCU Sports Production Grant... proving once again that HBCUs are shaping the future of media, not just participating in it.
For our community, this puts HBCU excellence front and center in a space that shapes how the world sees sports, culture, and storytelling. This is proof that our creatives belong behind the camera, in the control room, and at the decision-making tables of sports media.
From the classroom to the Emmys, this win is bigger than the moment. It’s the next generation of Black creatives claiming space behind the camera in an industry that defines culture.
#LetsDiscuss Could HBCUs be the future of sports media? 🖤

“Turning my back on Malcolm was one of the mistakes that I regret most in my life. I wish I’d been able to tell Malcolm I was sorry, that he was right about so many things. But he was killed before I got the chance. He was a visionary ahead of us all. Malcolm was the first to discover the truth, that color doesn’t make you a devil. It is the heart, soul, and mind that define a person. Malcolm was a great thinker and an even greater friend. I might never have become a Muslim if it hadn’t been for Malcolm. If I could go back and do it over again, I would never have turned my back on him.”
—Muhammad Ali
They put Angela Davis on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, charged her with capital offenses, and held her 16 months with the death penalty on the table.
On June 4, 1972, an all-white jury heard the evidence and cleared her of every charge.
This is not ancient history. Angela Davis is still alive. The same playbook of criminalizing dissent, overcharging, sensationalizing, then quietly backing away when the facts collapse is still used on our communities today.
Remember that when you hear prosecutors and police talk about “dangerous” voices and “public safety,” and remember that our people are not defined by the lies written in police reports or on wanted posters.
