Throughout this Black History Month, we celebrated Black culture. It wal also important to take a deeper look at the roadblocks Black students face in professional growth, economic mobility and building wealth.
As we work together to break down those barriers, public-private partnerships should be part of the solution. Here in Nashville, Bank of America has invested more than $1.5 million in our city’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) including Tennessee State University, Meharry Medical College and Fisk University.
As an alumna of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, I know the value of HBCUs firsthand and the outstanding talent that they produce.
