After years of playing second fiddle to White institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, known as HBCUs, are about to come to prominence now that Joe Biden has been ratified as the next president.
Never before have so many HBCU graduates been tapped to serve in the highest levels of government. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris went to Howard University in Washington, D.C., and the Rev. Raphael G. Warnock, soon to be called a U.S. senator once Georgia’s election results from Tuesday are certified, graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Louisiana’s two exemplars chosen to high profile positions are both connected to HBCUs.
