Purpose

Psalm 139:6

King James Version (KJV)
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
God's purpose for us is to be filled with knowledge. 

Many of our HBCUs began around the spirit of God



Historical Black colleges also known as HBCUs were established in response to the increase in the number of escaped slaves, who were considered a contraband of war during the Civil War if they managed to reach union lines, followed by the eventual passing of The Emancipation Proclamation. Public universities in the South were not integrated at the time.



Spelman College founded in 1881 by 2 black women with 100.00 began as a female seminary.
Howard University first students were white,Tuskegee University began under the leadership of Booker T Washington, Mary Mcleod Bethune and all HBCUs recognize the need to succeed.  This a powerful little known fact that should be pass down to future generations.
Step out on Faith  and believe I can do all things thru Christ that strengthen me.  As a random act of kindness let a young person know the power of Faith is built within and anything is possible.  Be a Blessing dis[play a Faith filled spirit.
