Convocation

Dr. Michael Lomax was the first to speak at Convocation. I found it interesting how he elaborated on the importance of HBCUs. I've always found HBCUs to be important to the African American community because there is a sense of empowerment in going to a school with people of your skin tone who are trying to better themselves. I've never seen it from a more practical point of view as Dr. Lomax spoke about. Historically black colleges/universities are responsible for more African Americans with degrees than any other bachelor degree program.
