School District of Palm Beach County goes virtual for HBCU college tours January 20, 2021 at 9:31 PM EST - Updated January 21 at 12:21 AM
Some Palm Beach County high school students are taking their college tours virtually. I m very ready to graduate, Temerah Williams said.
Williams knows her time is short at Palm Beach Lakes High School. Instead of continuing her education at a white institution, she s choosing an HBCU, or Historically Black Colleges and Universities. I m not really from a Black area or minority area, so going to Palm Beach Lakes it really opened my eyes to what HBCU s can offer, she said.
Shimmering fields of cotton and pecan orchards punctuate the predominantly pine and oak forests around Cairo, Georgia. The region’s lifeblood is the Flint River, which borders the fictional slave labor plantation in
Gone With the Wind. In reality, the river flows from west central Georgia into the Gulf of Mexico, and its waters are clean enough to harbor bass, bluegill and bullheads.
Located amid rolling hills not far from the border with Florida, Cairo is a town with fewer than 10,000 residents that’s known locally for its vintage car show, but it has a claim to fame when it comes to the long fight for racial equality: It was the birthplace of Jackie Robinson, who went on to break baseball’s color barrier when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
A few of the nation’s private historically Black colleges and universities have achieved progress in graduating their Black students. For example, Spelman College in Atlanta has a Black student graduation rate of 75 percent. Howard University in Washington, D.C. and Hampton University in Virginia have graduation rates of 60 percent or better.
But at most of the nation’s state-operated historically Black colleges and universities, the graduation rates remain very low. JBHE has compiled a listing of Black student graduation rates at a large group of the state-operated historically Black universities. The graduation rate is determined by determining what percentage of students who enter a particular institution received their bachelor’s degree within six years at the same university.
