4. “Is that what Hillman was?”

Hillman. Isn’t. A. Real. College.

Like books, and black lives, HBCUs still matter.

12. “Were all the professors black?”

No.
13. “Were you required to take African-American literature/history classes?”

No but they were available, as they should be at all universities, especially since standard history and literature classes seem to forget just how much black people helped build this country and its culture.
14. “So did you major in African studies?”

You can’t be serious.
15. “OK well, did you pledge?”

That’s not the only reason we go to college.

21. “I bet the food was was great though right?”

22. “Does having a black school on your resume make things harder?”

Being black brings its own set of challenges whether you’re on the street or the president of America.

Maybe you should ask HBCU alums such as Toni Morrison, Spike Lee, Taraji P. Henson, and hmm what’s her name again? Oh yea, Oprah.
