Your Future Counts on Voting
As motivated members of the #BDSquad, it’s no secret that most of us maintain busy schedules. Between work, school, clubs, sports and hobbies, voting this midterm election can be the last thing on our minds. While a full schedule can help us to achieve our #SquadGoals, so can voting in the upcoming election. Part of being a strong member of the #BDSquad is being informed and having a voice in society. This is just one reason why you should vote this election.
HBCU Homecoming 2018
While HBCU schools can provide black students a sense of belonging, HBCU homecoming takes this sense of unity and elevates it to an entirely new level. This time filled with celebration and sports works to foster a family-like environment for black students.
Celebrating Labor Day
This Labor Day weekend, we ask you to remember and celebrate the achievements of the great black Civil Rights leaders that fought to establish the holiday and more fair working conditions for all. This is a time to recall our nation’s history, as well as the progress that can be made through hardwork and determination. This is a time to celebrate, a time to remember, and a time to become inspired to encite our own change and progress to empower those of all skin tones and colors.
