Erykah Badu is a name that many recognize. She is named the First Lady of Neo-Soul, but did you know she attended Grambling State University, a Historically Black College and University/HBCU?
Historically Black Colleges and Universities were established in the 1800's. HBCUs were the only institutions of higher learning for black people. These institutions of higher education have produced some of the finest scholars, professionals and industry leaders ranging from business and media to sports and science.
The producers of Tell Them We Are Rising want you to be a part of history too.
