HRC HBCU Program
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities Program educates and organizes students, faculty and administrators at HBCU campuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues specific to each institution’s needs. It opens campus-wide debate on LGBT issues, often for the first time. And it trains students to build viable student-led LGBT-friendly organizations on campus.
This special outreach program was launched in 2002 by HRC in the wake of a swell of violence against LGBT students at HBCUs. Since then, the program has grown dramatically into an education, training and networking effort focusing on empowering, inspiring and educating LGBT HBCU students and their allies.
