A Statement courtesy of Hampton University
In celebration of Black History Month, we recognize and celebrate some of Hampton University’s alumni who have defined “the standard of excellence.” From Booker T. Washington to Alberta King to Ruth E. Carter, Hampton cultivates Black excellence.
Our celebration of Black people and their outstanding accomplishments extends beyond a specific month, emphasizing the significance of Black excellence throughout the year. During this Black History Month, Hampton University invites you to join us in paying tribute to both contemporary and historical community members who have laid the foundation for the current era of young Black men and women. Together, we embody, contribute, and uphold the rich tapestry of Black history, because after all…Black history starts here.
