Tell Them We are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges and Universities Tell Them We are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges and Universities

Trailer

In his most recent film, veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson (The Black Panthers) investigates yet another essential chapter of American history: the HBCUs. Created in 1964, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities aimed to serve Black people in the United States. Through this rich tapestry of archival photos, letters, diaries, home movies, a variety of never before seen or heard media, and memorable testimonials with key students, staff, faculty, and alumni, Nelson brings into sharp focus the pivotal role the HBCUs has played in American culture and national identity.
