One Living Archive. Many HBCU Alum Stories.
Your HBCU Made You Who You Are.
Your HBCU Story Needs To Be Preserved.
HBCU Roll is a living digital archive, built school by school, so every HBCU alum has a place to record and preserve their story in their own voice before it's gone.
Want to add your story to the HBCU Roll?
Why The HBCU Roll Exists
Preserve Our HBCU Stories
Every HBCU has alumni whose stories are being told but not officially preserved. The HBCU Roll exists so that stops being true. We're honoring our HBCU legacies by preserving the stories that shape our culture and deserve to be heard by our institutions, alumni associations, and other alum.
Capture Your Story In Your Voice
The best person to tell your HBCU story is YOU. Your story joins your school's permanent Roll and joins a collective of other stories shared by your classmates and other alum.
Cultivate Connections Through Storytelling
Your story could inspire the next story. You can keep the roll growing every time you share - at reunions, homecoming, alumni chapter meeting, and other events.
How It Works
Step 1
Choose a Reflection Prompt
Choose from a short list of provided reflection prompts that are easy to answer within 1 minutes.
Step 2
Record Your Story
Answer a short reflection prompt in whatever way you prefer: video, audio, or text (video preferred). Add your contact info so your story can be added to the living archive.
Step 3
Pass It On
Keep the roll growing. Share the HBCU Roll with a fellow alum.
The HBCU Roll Only Works If You're In It.
Your class. Your reunion. Your alumni chapter experience. Your voice. Add it to the HBCU Roll before it's another story that never got told.
* We are currently seeking a limited number of early adopters from the alumni communities of Morehouse College and Spelman College ONLY.
