Thursday, August 12th: The legacy of historically Black colleges and universities

There was a time when Black colleges and universities were the only route to higher education. Today, they are the behind many success stories such as that of Vice President Kamala Harris — Black lawyers, doctors and dentists — as well as Grammy-winning artists and pro-sport athletes.

Guests:  Chaunteal Weber-Chandler, Clark Atlanta University Alumni. Brian Compton, Grambling State University Alumni. Brandon Williams, Tuskegee University Alumni.
