Talladega’s Hawkins On Band Inaugural Performance, Critics’ Reaction: ‘It’s Not About Politics’

Posted by Tommy G. Meade Jr.

During a discussion on Talladega College’s marching band inauguration performance on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The O’Reilly Factor,” Talladega College President Billy Hawkins told Bill O’Reilly “this is a great opportunity for our students.”

“I’ve had a lot of pressure on me, a lot of folks have come at me at a very, very negative matter, I’ve been personally attacked, they’ve threatened to oust the president at Talladega College, I’ve had, you know, alumni really come at me quite hard, not all of our alums but a fair number of alums have come at me very hard not wanting the band to participate in the inauguration.”

Dr. Hawkins offered his reason, saying:

“…this is a great opportunity for our students, and I’ve said that from the outset that that it’s about the students, it’s about them having an opportunity to participate in this national stage in this inaugural ceremony. It’s a civic ceremony and it’s not about politics.”

HBCU True Life: I Don’t Know What I’m Doing After College And That’s Okay

Posted by Chris Sumlin
Posted on

Well, it’s that time of the year again. It’s the end of another break, and the Spring semester is drawing nigh. Usually, I’m very excited for the start of a new semester. During this time, I normally wake up every morning counting down the days left of the break. I do this because I’m pumped that I’m about to embark on another epic semester. This winter break has been entirely different.

Now that I’ve reached my senior year, the excitement has been replaced with anxiety. Every conversation I have with everyone from fellow interns to friends, to my family are all the same. Everyone asks me: What are your plans after Morehouse? What are your long term goals? Where’s your girlfriend? Where do you want to live post-college?

As I get asked these questions, I don’t know what the answers are or should be. To be quite honest, I have no clue what the future holds. I think because I have made it this far while trying to appear to “have it all together” that people expect me to have all the answers but quite frankly, I don’t. I’ve discovered that no matter how much success one experiences, there will always be questions that they do not have the answer to. After coming to the realization that I should probably do some thinking about my future, recently I’ve felt overwhelmed

I keep thinking maybe I’m losing my touch, or that I’m lacking in some capacity. Sometimes I compare myself to others who know exactly what they want to do and how they’ll get there. The stress of these thoughts really bugs me.

When thinking over my past experiences, triumphs and successes none of it were planned. When I wanted to go to Morehouse, that decision came to me my last semester of high school. When I decided I wanted to write a book, that whole idea came to me one day in the living room then I went and did it. I did not plan to do any of those things months and years in advance.

All of my biggest and most proud moments came to me in the spur of the moment. The question I’ve wrestled with when reflecting on these experiences is; Well, how did I succeed with no plan?

I know for sure that I was able to have these successful moments because of three things:

  • I allow myself to be open to hearing the desires of my heart.
  • I focus on doing my best in the present moment.
  • I have faith that everything will work out.
 These three points have allowed me to keep progressing even without a plan. So yes, I have no idea what I’m doing after graduation, I don’t know when I’m getting married or where I’ll be living, but I do know that whatever I’ll be doing I’ll be okay.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t pressure myself into trying to plan the next move. I can’t get so caught up in what everyone else wants for me that I can’t hear the voice inside myself telling me what to do next. I think not having a plan has worked out for me just fine.

To all the HBCU seniors who’ve been feeling the pressure of senior year, just relax. It’s GOING to be okay. If I know anything for sure I know that sometimes having no plan IS the master plan. We all have an inner instinct or intuition that is constantly speaking to us telling us what to do. That voice may be telling you to do something challenging or go somewhere uncharted, but just do it. If you can’t hear that voice inside yourself:

  •  Get still.
  •  Get focused.
  •  AND TRY.

Your intuition will never lead you wrong.

As I say this to you, I remind myself that it’s okay to not know the next step. It’s okay to figure it out as you go. We have the power within ourselves to do great work, but we just have to be open to doing so. So if you don’t have a plan, that’s alright. I’m with you. We both will go into this last semester trying to figure it all out.  I promise we both will be okay! We deserve it!

Be Inspired!

New Program Launched For HBCU Students Looking To Fix Hollywood’s Diversity Problem

Posted by Chris Sumlin
Posted on
Are you an HBCU student interested in gaining experience in the entertainment industry? If so, this new diversity initiative is the program for you.

The Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program has joined forces with the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (WHI-HBCU), these two organizations are hoping to give Hollywood the best and brightest students of HBCUs.

After the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag that brought light to the lack of diversity in Hollywood, many have been constructing ways to tackle this issue. During an event held at SAG-AFTRA headquarters in Los Angeles, entertainment powerhouse’s came together to address solutions to diversifying Hollywood.

The panel included: David White, Executive Director of SAG-AFTRA, Stacy Milner, founder of the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program (EICOP), Dr. Kim Hunter Reed, Executive Director WHI-HBCU and others.

The program introduced at the event is called, HBCU’s in LA. It is the first program of its kind to take on the Hollywood diversity pipeline problem. “Students are genuinely excited about getting the skills they need to excel in Hollywood,” Stacy Milner said. Stacy Milner and her husband Ted Milner have traveled to many HBCU’s in 2016 informing students of this opportunity.

The HBCU’s in LA internship program will launch in the summer of 2017.

The program will provide students with hands-on experience preparing them for careers in the entertainment industry. The program even plans to have resume workshops and offer interviewing tips. The interns selected in this program will also receive mentoring and networking opportunities with some of the entertainment industry’s impressive career professionals.

While discussing this program at Morehouse College during the EICOP tour, Stacy stated that one way to tackle diversity is by creating greater access and opportunities for diverse student groups inside Hollywood’s coveted inner circle. We at the Buzz are proud of the team behind this initiative and sincerely encourage our readers to apply.

The program is open to all students attending Historically Black College’s, Predominately Minority Serving Institutions, Predominately Black Institutions and Hispanic Serving Institutions.

You can apply to the program online at here. The application is currently live and will close March 15th, 2017 11:59PST. For more information about the program and to ask questions visit www.eicop.org

5 Howard Students Arrested Protesting Sessions’ Nomination

Posted by Jacinth Jones
Posted on
Five Howard University students were arrested Tuesday afternoon after staging a nonviolent sit-in, protesting the confirmation hearing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions — demanding that he withdraws his nomination at the Russell Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill.

According to Howard University’s chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (HU NAACP) twitter account, the direct action to demand Senator Sessions’ withdrawal originated from a variety of reasons including his failure to explicitly acknowledge the effects of voter suppression across the country.

HU NAACP Vice President Deja Bryant said in a statement on the arrests that “We ask that the public continue to support the Howard University NAACP’s efforts to uphold the National NAACP’s purpose: “To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.”

Bryant also commented on her plan of action after hearing of her colleagues’ arrest:

“It brought me a great deal grief and pride to seeing my colleagues risk arrest while fighting what they are passionate about. It became very personal to me, seeing people that I work so closely with, my friends in handcuffs.”

She added:

“I immediately began to seek full clarification regarding exactly who was arrested and what actions were already begin taken for their release. My first priority was to ensure that everything was secure and they were being supported with whatever resources they needed while staying in contact with various leaders and collaborators.”

HU NAACP member Bryttany McClendon-Weary shared her experience prior to and during her arrest:

“When we started chanting loudly the police came and warned us first and said ‘If you don’t leave out of the office you are going to be arrested’. When we did not move, more police, around four, came and took us out one by one and we went downstairs to place us in the police van. Initially, they charged us with unlawful entry but was dropped to crowding.”

McClendon-Weary continued:

“We were barely at the office for an hour. We arrived at 10 and was escorted by 11. Since more protesters were brought to the station, processing was pushed back but we all eventually left at around 5 pm with a court date and our belongings. Despite our arrests, our sit-in wasn’t bad at all. It was very effective. We don’t hate Jeff, but his political views may be viewed as harmful towards the black community. In our opinion, Sessions should not be placed in a position of authority to dictate laws.”

Howard students arrested include Jamieson Davids, Joshua Parks, Llewellyn Robinson and Jacqueline Grant (HU NAACP President), in addition to protestors from Democracy Spring, a movement organization committed to winning fundamental reforms to end the corruption of big money in politics and guarantee the right to vote for all Americans.

Davids agreed with McClendon-Weary:

“I felt the sit-in was successful and helped reinforce the message that Jeff Session would be a terrible pick for Attorney General due to his atrocious track record on voting rights. When I was escorted, it felt good to see other protestors and their outrage over Sessions’ appointment.”

Davids also shared his thoughts with prominent figures also speaking out on Senator Session’s nomination:

“I am very supportive of what they do. I love how they use their position of power to enact change whether they’re politicians like Corey Booker or NAACP President Cornell William Brooks to speak out against Senator Sessions in order to bring up his terrible record on voting rights.”

All students have since been released. HU NAACP in collaboration with Howard University Student Association (HUSA) scheduled a second-day protest via call-in on Wednesday, Jan. 11, but was postponed in order to have Howard professors and other faculty members involved.

Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the abbreviation of NAACP. We apologize for the mistake.

Exclusive ― Meet Hampton University Student And YouTube Personality Nia Imani!

Nia Imani Wellman is the definition of #BlackGirlMagic. She is currently a sophomore, Strategic Communications major/ Cinema Studies minor at Hampton University. In addition to being a student at one of the top HBCUs in the nation, she is also a YouTube personality with over 77,000 viewers. Nia makes content ranging from HBCU vlogs to natural hair videos with more in between.

HBCU Buzz recently caught up with Nia to get the inside scoop on her on the struggles and triumphs of excelling in her various pursuits. Check out what she had to say below, and make sure you stay connected with Nia Imani here!

In the time you’ve been in college what can you say has been the most difficult challenge to overcome?

I haven’t necessarily had any rough obstacles so far in college, but I can definitely say receiving my first D ever in math first semester of freshman year was hard. I came into college believing that I was going to get A’s and B’s like I did in high school and that D hurt my GPA. However, to redeem myself, I was sure to work harder, which lead to not only boosting my GPA, but being inducted into the Golden Key International Honor Society.

What’s one piece of advice you’d tell students who want to reach your level of success but are shy or unmotivated?

I believe to be successful at anything you really want to do you must: stay consistent, stay in your lane, refrain from comparing yourself to the next person and most importantly be unapologetically you.

 What motivates you/keeps you going?

My supporters definitely keep me going. Knowing that even though somebody out there might not like what I do or have to say, there are still hundreds of others who appreciate my efforts.

How do you manage your time? School, extracurriculars, and YouTube seem like a hefty load. 

This year I have implemented my planner more than usual as well as a calendar which has kept me on top of most of my responsibilities. Also, not sleeping.

How do you stay organized?

I don’t honestly. My life can be a bit chaotic and messy, but I still find some way to keep most things in order.

Any upcoming projects or resolutions for the new year? 

I’m not a fan of the whole “new year, new me” thing, but I definitely plan to be more consistent, procrastinate less, give back more and go on more adventures.

Any advice you have for students in college or going to college?

Anyone who plans to attend college, please be sure to do thorough research, apply early so that you can be offered scholarships, be sure to visit the school and have an open mind to attending school out of state.

Meet Howard University Stylish Buzz: Danielle Young

HBCUs are some of the most stylish campuses in the world. Howard University, specifically, is a campus where some students will “pop out” just because. Overall, the goal for many students is to simply showcase their personality through what they wear on a daily basis.

Check out this week’s Stylish Buzz Danielle Young:

Danielle Young is a senior, Supply Chain Management major from Detroit. She can be seen on campus in anything from a metallic two-piece to a chill, off the shoulder number.

“style is a form of self-expression that lets people tell who they are and how they’re feeling.”

Danielle Young 

Aside from being a full-time student, Danielle is also a part time stylist. She plans to build a career in the retail industry (whether that be through styling, communications, sales, or something else). She has also been awarded some amazing opportunities like studying the African textile industry in Ghana and even working with DC Fashion Week among various other organizations, brands, and companies.

“Through experiences, I’ve had within the fashion industry I’ve learned that there is a big difference between fashion and your own personal style. While fashion tends to be based on trends, style is a form of self-expression that lets people tell who they are and how they’re feeling.

You don’t have to rock designer labels or follow the latest trends just to be stylish. Each outfit that I put together has to be formed around a signature piece that brings it to life. I like clothes that are bold, eccentric, daring, and unique because that’s who I am as a person. I do my best to make sure that I never buy anything that’s similar to something I already own. “

Talladega President Defends His Decision To Let Marching Band Perform During Trump’s Inauguration Day Parade

The black college caused controversy after agreeing to perform during President-elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day parade.

And now Talladega College President Dr. Bill Hawkins has defended his decision to let his school’s marching band go and participate in the inaugural parade.

“I did not view this as a political event …,” Dr. Hawkins told News One in an interview. “I view it as a civic ceremony and an opportunity for our students to observe the process of the transition of power.”

He added:

“Many of our students––almost all of them––have never had the opportunity to travel to our nation’s capital.”

“We’re not doing this for political reasons,” Dr. Hawkins said.

However, the Black college still lacks the funds needed to make the trip.

Conservative commentator and entrepreneur Armstrong Williams has made the school an offer to pay the $60,000 the Talladega Marching Tornadoes need to make the journey to Pennsylvania Avenue.

According to News One, Dr. Hawkins said he and the Talladega school board are considering Willams’ offer and are expecting more donations to their GoFundMe page.

Howard University President Wayne A. I. Frederick introduced a new head coach of the Bison during a press conference on campus. The decision comes after an extensive head coaching search.

Mike London takes over Howard football and he vows to revive the program, The Washington Post reports.

“After an extensive national search, we are especially excited to welcome Mike London to Howard University,” Frederick said in a statement Monday morning. “He joins our football program at an incredible time, and we look forward to seeing him build on the existent foundation that makes Howard University a great institution. The board of trustees and I believe he brings outstanding leadership and experience and is sure to be a tremendous resource to the entire Howard University community.”

Howard Athletics Director Kery Davis said that he believes London will be a strong leader and mentor for Howard student-athletes, adding:

“He is a widely-respected coach with a resume full of achievements at the highest levels of college football and combines a drive to win with great integrity. We look forward to the future of Howard University football under his direction.”

The Howard community seems to be in favor of the decision, as Howard alumni, fans, and supporters took to social media to congratulate London on his new position.

“I would like to thank President Frederick and Kery Davis for their confidence and belief in me,” London said. “I am humbled that we have a shared commitment to take this university and this football program to greater heights. Some of the best football talent in the country is right here in the Washington metropolitan area, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with the young men in the Howard football program and build on the strong heritage already in place.”

N.C. A&T Leads HBCU Consortium On Sexual Assault Prevention

Posted by HBCU Editors

The United States Department of Justice’s Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) has awarded the offices of counseling services at North Carolina A&T State University, Bennett College and Shaw University a grant of $549,999 for the consortium’s “Be the Change:  Resources, Intervention, Services, and Education” project. Led by N.C. A&T, the consortium is the first of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the history of OVW. The award is part of 61 grants issued by the OVW totaling $25 million to help student victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.

“Our grant was a collaborative effort to raise awareness, reduce and ultimately prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking on our campuses. We want our universities to be safe places for all to live, learn and [be] free of violence and sexual crimes,” said Dr. Vivian Barnette, executive director of Counseling Services at N.C. A&T.

The grant is funded for three years and will strengthen responses to crimes of sexual assault and domestic violence and enhance collaboration among local law enforcement and victim advocacy organizations.

“Our decision to unite as counseling center directors made our application stronger. We hope to become a resource for all HBCUs and other minority serving institutions to model culturally appropriate services for students that attend them,” said Barnette.

Additionally, the grant will focus on organizing and encouraging men and other groups to work as allies to prevent sexual assault crimes, particularly in underserved communities. Each campus will offer effective training, services, prevention strategies, culturally appropriate policies and coordinated community responses for victims of sexual assault.

The grant allows the consortium to use OVW Technical Assistants, who are experts in the field, to build upon the project, enhance responsiveness to survivors, campaign and train incoming students and campus and community partners to become active bystanders, thereby making strides toward ending sexual assault and violence.

OVW provides leadership in developing the nation’s capacity to reduce violence against women through the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act and subsequent legislation.  Created in 1995, OVW administers financial and technical assistance to communities across the country that are developing programs, policies and practices aimed at ending domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

CAU Freshman Class President Eric Wilson Has Lost His Brother And Father To Violence

Posted by HBCU Editors

When Eric Wilson fled the deadly gun violence plaguing the streets of Chicago, the Clark Atlanta University freshman left behind four of the most important people in his life. Yet, even as Eric, 19, packed his bags to journey hundreds of miles away from his roots at 69th St. and Western, he promised his mother, Veronica Comey, and his three sisters he would use his CAU degree to come home and rescue them. This life altering decision made the social media guru and mass media arts major the first in his family ever to attend college.

At the innocent age of four, Eric’s father was shot to death. That left him with no dad to guide him through life’s challenges, especially as a black boy in America. Still, Eric didn’t give up.

“It was a lot of opportunities I missed out on growing up without a dad, like being able to play football at the park with him,” said Eric, who would go on to play basketball and football at Kenwood Academy High School. He said the tragedy also robbed him of his childhood. “I had to become the man of the house at a young age, and I had to step up and take care of my three younger sisters,” he explained. But his father’s death helped him adopt a life of nonviolence, opting to use his words rather than his fists to squash schoolyard beefs.

His walks to and from the school bus stop everyday were littered with wrong turns that could have led him down any number of dangerous paths life steers at impressionable children. There was the dope pusher on just about every corner. Addicts slumped over door stoops and gangs. Yet he stayed focused. “I always knew that education was going to pull me out of this,” Eric said, with a smile you’d hardly expect from someone who has endured the pain he has. “I used the bad things I saw growing up in my neighborhood as motivation to be successful and come back to help my family.”

Then in the summer of 2016, just a few months before he departed for Clark Atlanta, Eric’s 15-year-old brother, Davearhea Wilson, was shot dead on the front steps of his own home. He went from sadness to guilt because he made it out, but his little brother did not. “I feel like I’m living for my brother,” he said, while still flashing his signature ear-to-ear smile.

While his road to CAU has been plagued with murdered relatives, childhood mistakes and hard knocks, Eric credits his mom with getting him to this place in.

“The mission is complete for him to get to Clark Atlanta,” Comey said. “But he is still a work in progress because he still has to develop himself into a successful man.”

Morehouse College Stylish Buzz Of The Week: Duby Maduegbunam

Posted by Delvakio Brown
Posted on
The distinctions of a Morehouse Man are recognized all over the world. Celebrating its Sesquicentennial year, there is no sign of slowing down for the college in strides to produce sharp young men like Duby Maduegbunam. Native of the Hub City, Boston, Massachusetts, this 6-5 Sophomore shoots for the target of dressing well and making buckets for the Morehouse College Men’s Basketball team.

The ultimate goal in life is to play basketball professionally. Having an average of 16.2 points so far this season, and a total of 162 pts. Duby is playing his heart out towards his goal and has proof for it.

Concluding the first week of the season, he was named the SIAC Newcomer of the Week. The Morehouse forward was also bestowed the honor as SIAC Player of the Week earlier this past December for his outstanding performance against Lane College with a career record of 26 points.

“The best thing Duby does with garments out-of-style is bringing out versatility…”

Majoring in Cinematic Television & Emerging Media Studies, Duby also has interests of working in the entertainment industry with film and becoming a producer. He is big on accessories because the addition of them results in the greatest touch. “He excels at what he would call “Arm Candy” which are accessories,” Duby’s friend Donovan Preston said.

Friends pay close attention to what their friends habits are. “Duby always has a nice layer of bracelets and a watch on his left arm with a nice slim gold chain either tucked in or out of his shirt,” Preston described. Duby describes his style as urban mixed with European.  “He is able to take a basic pair of jeans and cut it up along with distressing it. Before you know it, he is rocking something created from scratch but still fashionable under a urban trend,” Preston said.

Staying up with what’s in-style is not Duby’s thing. He focuses on bringing arrangements to life that leave the scene. “The best thing Duby does with garments out-of-style is bringing out versatility while making it seem effortless,” Malik Abu said. Maduegbunam’s inspiration is fashion is his brother, Akosa Maduegbunam, who has made appearances various places with his fashion styles including the Today Show. Both the love for basketball and fashion are a commonality amongst the two.

Maduegbunam refuses to do to much when it comes to dressing and that explains his Do’s and Don’ts:

Do – Slim fit, plain and simple, layering, distressing, a lot of shoes, stylish socks

Don’t – No baggy clothes. No overly graphic clothing. No fitted caps
