Boston is initiating a plan to establish a satellite campus affiliated with a historically Black college or university, as advocates call for a public hearing on the initiative. The city aims to foster Black educational presence, with city council vice president Brian Worrell asserting that an HBCU would serve as role models for Black students. The Building Bridges HBCU program will present potential partner institutions and sites for development later in the year, reviving Boston's historical significance in Black education dating back to the 19th century.
Brian Worrell emphasized the importance of having an HBCU presence in Boston, stating, "An HBCU presence would provide role models for current Black students by showing them a tangible pathway to success." He drew parallels to Boston's historic leadership in Black education during the 19th century, remarking on the need to rediscover that pioneering spirit.
Boston's Building Bridges HBCU program aims to propose potential partner institutions and sites for a new satellite campus later this year, showcasing the city's commitment to expanding educational opportunities.
