Photo Collage: Helping Students Navigate Historically Black Colleges and Universities

By Brooklyn Toney--Eagle Staff Writer

On February 18, the Harrison Museum of African American Culture in Roanoke held its fourth annual Historically Black College and University Fair. Several HBCUs across the country came together to prepare students for the next step after high school. The fair gave opportunities to students who did not have direct access to such resources. Students were also offered the chance of on-site acceptance to some of the colleges. A number of Eagles attended the event through Shades of Red to learn more about the unique legacy and offerings of HBCUs.
