Honor Juneteenth with a PSEG True Diversity Film screening and Standing in Solidarity conversation on the history and impact of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

These schools, some predating the Civil War, are credited with building the African-American middle class and creating pathways for economic and social mobility. The program includes a PSEG True Diversity Film screening of Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black College and Universities (Firelight Films, 2018). The documentary examines the impact of HBCUs on American history, culture and national identity.

A conversation with Black leaders, who are also HBCU graduates, will take place following the film screening.
