Boston City Councilors who want to bring a satellite campus of an HBCU, or a Historically Black College and University, to the city held a council hearing Tuesday evening to solicit community members’ thoughts on the matter. Roughly two dozen Boston residents, HBCU graduates, students, and educators testified before the council Tuesday and expressed a range of reactions to the idea. While many were enthusiastically supportive, others were hesitant, and some posed questions to the councilors, such as whether a satellite campus would be able to replicate the cultural support and community, as well as the historical relevance, of an established HBCU.
