As a part of an HBCU, AI advances scholarship relevant to the nation's 100+ HBCUs by focusing on the delicate condition of black America and other marginalized populations. Functioning as part talent incubator, part research hub, part town square and part conscience for the HBCU community, AI is a point of entry for discussions about the very best of HBCU culture.
