Eight Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were awarded more than $650,000 in grants today through the HBCU Cultural Heritage Stewardship Initiative, a partnership between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The program provides HBCUs with resources to protect, preserve, and leverage their historic campuses, buildings, and landscapes, ensuring these symbols of African-American excellence and American achievement are preserved to inspire and educate future generations.
