What do Oprah Winfrey, Kamala Harris, Spike Lee, and Toni Morrison have in common? Besides being trailblazers in their respective fields, they are all graduates of HBCUs.

Diverse leaders from throughout the Diaspora, such as Tom Joyner, Stacey Abrams, and Keisha Lance Bottoms, join the ranks of thousands of HBCU graduates who make a difference in enriching the lives of citizens nationwide (and abroad).
