*Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s has big plans for strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and if elected, she vows to make a substantial investment in HBCUs.
Clinton outlines her intentions in a recent op-ed for The Root, in which she gets specific about how the African-American community can improve and heal through the implementation of several education initiatives.
Clinton points out how Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump has yet to speak about what areas he believes urban education can be improved, or any of the issues plaguing the Black community. “Donald Trump has no plan to support HBCUs,” she wrote. “His view of black communities is both ignorant and insulting. He says—to largely white audiences—that African-American neighborhoods are plagued by poverty.”
She later followed up by highlighting some of the many ways the Black community is contributing to the success of the nation.
“For starters, Trump misses so much about what makes the African-American community strong and vibrant,” she added. “If he ever bothered to actually look for it, he might see the pride that black parents feel watching their kids thrive in school, the widespread success of black-owned businesses, or the triumphs of black leaders in every field.”
