Atiya Jones-Hampton University

I am definitely in agreement with what was stated. HBCU's have contributed much to American education, society, and African-Americans. As a student at a prestigious HBCU I am greatly affected by the education that I receive and understand the value of my HBCU experience because I know that those around me have my best interest in mind and want me to succeed, and I am honored to take part in what my ancestors struggled and worked hard for. I must say that I am proud of the education I am receiving that is not only preparing me for the world around me, but is making me aware and educated about my culture, what more could a student as for in a higher learning institution?
