A Conversation about HBCUs & Movements for Social Change

Rev. Dr. Barber & the Center are glad to welcome Dr. Jelani Favors to Yale Divinity School for a conversation about the critical role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in forming moral leaders today.

Favors’ Shelter in a Time of Storm reset the narrative on the legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as incubators of student activism and leadership, winning the 2020 Stone Book Award, the most coveted and prestigious honor recognizing literary works in the field of African American history and culture.
