New feature spotlights "Gentlemen of Quality" on HBCU campuses

We're glad to announce the return to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online of contributor Ian Evans ("The Dress Code" First Semester Super Issues 2008) with a new feature, "Gentlemen of Quality," and examination of "Young Black Men who are upholding the tradition of achievement".

The far-ranging article features young men from across America's HBCUs, who in photographs and quotes tackle the challenges of being young, Black and male in a society where "positive images of quality, educated, enlightened young black men are few, while the image of uneducated drug dealers, pimps and thugs are widely known and celebrated."

The piece gives a compelling look at what men from Morehouse, Dillard, Howard, FAMU, Tuskegee and Fisk feel about the opportunities and hopes, and the continuing challenges and stigmas that lay ahead for Black men in Obama-era America.
