    History-Making with Fisk's Gymnastics Team

    Fisk University is the first HBCU to have a gymnastics team. And last January, in 2023, that team made history when it became the first HBCU team to compete in an NCAA meet. And now, these legendary gymnasts are bringing the next generation with them.

    Bethune's Legacy: 'Enter to Learn. Depart to Serve.'

    Civil rights activist. Presidential advisor. A woman who helped draft the charter of the United Nations — Mary McLeod Bethune is a name most kids learn when studying Black history. The Black press often called her the ”First Lady of Negro America.” But also, she’s the person who founded Bethune-Cookman University. And, her work shows how from the very beginning, education has been part of Black folks’ push for democracy. Thank you to Dr. Ashley Preston of Howard University and Dr. Crystal deGregory of Bethune-Cookman University for sharing their knowledge.
