North Carolinians can be proud of their history
Published March 3, 2021
When it comes to paying respect to some of the American giants in history today, there is no shortage of embarrassing headlines. In the Land of Lincoln, the city of Chicago is reevaluating some of their Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant statues. Not to be outdone, in the state and a university named after George Washington, some are clamoring to remove a statue of our first president and America’s revolutionary hero at the University of Washington. One can laugh at the absurdity, but North Carolinians should be watching the attempt to disassemble history while simultaneously having the courage to take pride in their own state history.

RALEIGH – One of the crown jewels of North Carolina is our world-class system of higher education. Among these stellar institutions are our Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
We are one of the top states for HBCU enrollment, with 10 schools serving 40,000 students. These HBCUs are essential to the strength of North Carolina, producing outstanding engineers, attorneys, educators, artists, entrepreneurs and leaders who help shape the destiny of our country.
As we celebrate Black History Month, we recall the rich legacy of brave student activists, of past and present, at North Carolina’s HBCUs who have played a crucial part in the civil rights and Black Lives Matter movements, championing equality and justice for all.
