In celebration of Black History Month, we delve into the rich history and ongoing impact of Black excellence in higher education, with a special focus on community colleges. Join us as we sit down with Madison Otto, President of the Black Student Union, and Marcus Nicks, Assistant Director of the Silas Craft Collegians Program, to explore the pivotal role of Black educational leadership and trailblazers.

We highlight the contributions of local Howard County historical figures like Silas Craft and Benjamin Banneker, whose legacies continue to inspire and shape the educational landscape and pay homage to the father of Black History Month, Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Discover how the programs at Howard Community College build on this legacy, fostering dynamic and inclusive educational experiences. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, leadership, and the future of Black excellence in academia.
