SUMMARY:HBCUs: Their Legacy and Continued Relevance in Southern Black Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:What a fun and enlightening way to round out the 2025 Black History Month Celebration! Attendees are encouraged to wear your Greek and/or HBCU attire and share this fabulous evening among friends and family! \nWe are excited to welcome speaker Jean Greene\, co-director of the Utica Institute Museum who will speak about The Legacy of William H. Holtzclaw. \nWilliam H. Holtzclaw\, son of former slaves and mentee of Booker T. Washington\, founded the Utica Normal & Industrial Institute for the Training of Colored Young Men and Women in Utica in 1903. The Institute\, initially a privately funded facility and later a public school\, has been in operation in the Utica community for more than 100 years. Now known as Hinds Community College-Utica Campus\, the Institution retains its HBCU status and traditions. The Utica Jubilee Singers\, founded by Holtzclaw to promote the school and help raise funds\, remains one of the defining elements of the school. This presentation gives an overview of the Utica Institute from its founding in the Jim Crow-era South through the Civil Rights years and beyond. \nArrive at 5:30 to mix and mingle at the Crossroads Cafe and mocktail bar including door prizes and more! Program begins at 6:00
