FOREVER 1881

WISHING THE BIGGEST BRIGHTEST BLUEST BIRTHDAY LOVE & HONOR TO OUR SPELMAN SISTER, THEE INCOMPARABLE DR. BEVERLY GUY-SHEFTALL C’1966, SHE FOUNDED THE FIRST WOMEN’S RESEARCH & RESOURCE CENTER ANY HBCU, WHERE? AT SPELMAN COLLEGE! 🤍 TRULY A PHENOMENAL BEING! 🥳

I’m heartbroken to hear about the @SouthernU_BR student who died after an off-campus fraternity ritual. It’s been 30 years since my dad nearly lost his life during a similar hazing incident at Southern University. While he’s alive, the brutal hazing left him paralyzed and blind. He is no longer paralyzed, but he’s still blind & has fought tirelessly for decades to regain his sight. He’s currently trying to get into a clinical trial to restore his vision. My family is sickened that, decades later, Southern University has allowed this to happen again. I pray that, unlike my family, the victim’s family gets the justice they deserve. Southern was never held accountable, nor were those responsible for what happened to my dad. It’s beyond disgusting. #stophazing @ABC @NBCNews @CNN @andersoncooper @jaketapper @GayleKing @sarasidnerCNN @DavidMuir

If a Morehouse man becomes a U.S. Senator, while a Howard alumna is the Vice-President, and both were aided by a Spelman woman, I NEVER NEVER NEVER want to hear any more talk about HBCU's not preparing you for the "real world".
