Clothing brand Support Black Colleges aims to amplify the importance of historically Black colleges and universities and strives to encourage people to support and attend HBCUs. Co-founded in 2012 by Howard University students Corey Arvinger and Justin Phillips, the brand has exploded in popularity in the past year and the apparel line has recently partnered with the NBA to create NBA All-Star merchandise that celebrates HBCUs.
After noticing a lack of representation among Black clothing designers, especially ones that highlight Black colleges, Philips and Arvinger wanted to create a space for people that look like them and were “able to capitalize on it because there was a need for it,” Arvinger told CBS News.
