The recent announcement by the Trump administration of a surprise injection of $495 million into the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and tribal universities should be viewed as exactly what it is: an investment into institutions. HBCUs and tribal universities serve some of the most economically depressed and underserved communities in our nation. That has long been the mission of HBCUs, such as Alabama State University (ASU). It was founded to provide disenfranchised Black Alabamians with a college education that the state had long denied them, and it has excelled at that mission for more than 158 years.
