Micro-Academics
The world is full of microaggressions which chip away at the very existence of the black student.
Unfortunately, those microaggressions have invaded the academia. Institutions have been found to push certain students toward certain professions and industries based on their skin color and perceived cultural experience. This is where HBCUs/PBIs come in to save the lives of those students and build them up in places where the world has tried to tear them down.
American education, in its current state, has several gaps. By allowing these gaps to continue to exist, students who are solely educated in this system are groomed with half-truths, misinformation which often leaves out minority representation and leaves little room for growth and expansion beyond the checked boxes of standardize education.
While the HBCU/PBI experience cannot lay claim to filling all of those gaps, it has taken on the responsibility of showing students their historical and cultural contributions to the American society and even around the world. By doing so, they positively reinforce the individual and collective value of each black and brown pursuant of education. Sure, science, math and english are fairly similar no matter the institution, but the supplemental information distributed and received through micro-academics at HBUCs/PBIs are unmatched for the black student in other non-black institutions of learning.
