Jenkins, Jr., executive vice president and chief development officer, UNCF. “We are thrilled to have Kevin Frazier to serve as our national UNCF advocate on HBCUs during what we affectionately call ‘March Madness.’ Despite decades of financial neglect, racial injustice and inequality, HBCUs have continued to be incubators for cultivating leaders and influencers of the past, present and future,” said Maurice E. Donors, allies and champions are stepping up in cities like Hampton Roads, Philadelphia, Dallas, Miami, New York and New Orleans to celebrate HBCUs and also fund the next generation of students.” We urge advocates to join us this March at one of UNCF’s galas taking place across the country. As we look to the future, we need to double down our efforts. In a promotional taped message, Frazier continued, “For more than 77 years, UNCF has worked tirelessly to ensure that HBCUs have the resources they require, but our work is not done. As we prepare for the future, we must make certain that our nation’s HBCUs are not merely sustained but now-more than ever before-are strengthened for the work to come,” said Frazier. In these unprecedented times, we must continue to educate our students for the challenges ahead and to guarantee that they get the education that they deserve to have careers that will enrich them and prepare them for leadership.
As a long-time advocate of equity and education, I am elated to step up and support this organization. Not only did most of my family attend HBCU’s but I had the opportunity to attend two as well. “This month, I am honored to serve as a leading ambassador for UNCF.
