K-12 Schools Look to HBCU’s for Path to Fixing Disparities
(INDIANAPOLIS) – Leaders of historically black universities say some of the same principles which have made those schools successful can translate to elementary and high schools.

She says discussion of African-American contributions shouldn’t start and end with history class, but extend into science and math.
