HBCU Should Go To College

Hello and welcome to my first Action Project for my humanities course, Forbidden Books. In Forbidden Books, we talked about the censorship of books, the reason books get banned. We also discussed current censorship topics such as the Gucci blackface scandal and the Nike Arabic scandal. We read the book Fahrenheit 451 and we just ended our first unit called Politics. Socrates was a very prolific philosopher who never wrote any of his teachings down. We read The Apology which is the manifesto that Socrates wrote to his accusers. In this manifesto, Socrates held a hypothetical Socratic dialogue with one of his accusers. Socratic dialogue is when one person's questions another with a questionable opinion until they change their statement. Socrative dialogues can be dangerous because it challenges the government and can expose secrets.
My partner GR and I did a Socratic dialogue about Historically Black Colleges and Universities vs Primarily White Institutions. We discussed why a person wouldn’t want to go to an HBCU and the assumptions of why some people may think PWIs are “better”. We chose this topic because it's something we talk about very often. Howard is my dream college and GR wants to go to Brown.
