(Jelani Manu-Gowon), 1975- 45905 Shelter in a time of storm : how black colleges fostered generations of leadership and activism / Jelani M. Favors Chapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, 2019 354 pages : 24 cm For generations, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have been essential institutions for the African American community. Their nurturing environments not only provided educational advancement but also catalyzed the Black freedom struggle, forever altering the political destiny of the United States. In this book, Jelani M. Favors offers a history of HBCUs from the 1837 founding of Cheyney State University to the present, told through the lens of how they fostered student activism. Favors chronicles the development and significance of HBCUs through stories from institutions such as Cheyney State University, Tougaloo College, Bennett College, Alabama State University, Jackson State University, Southern University, and North Carolina A&T. He demonstrates how HBCUs became a refuge during the oppression of the Jim Crow era and illustrates the central role their campus communities played during the civil rights and Black Power movements. Throughout this definitive history of how HBCUs became a vital seedbed for politicians, community leaders, reformers, and activists, Favors emphasizes what he calls an unwritten "second curriculum" at HBCUs, one that offered students a grounding in idealism, racial consciousness, and cultural nationalism Estudiantes universitarios Actividad política 7139 Estudiantes universitarios afroamericanos Actividad política 45948 Movimientos estudiantiles Historia 44193 Universidades y colegios afroamericanos 45950 Afroamericanos Identidad étnica 45951 Negros Identidad racial 12621 Identidad racial 45952 lcc BK cmc 125830 125830 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2025-11-12 0 LC 2781 F275s 2019 00000196855 2025-11-12 16:41:00 1 2025-11-12 BK
