Im trying to get the 'lil ones in the family interested in HBCUs right now. My 9 year old cousin loves baseball i tell him everyday to go to SU since they have a elite baseball team
 
mom /Dad -Grambling
Aunts - Grambling
Grandma-Grambling
Sister- Grambling
Great Uncle- MI (the school in Rust)
 



Ha! This is so easy for me...

ERR BODY = ALCORN all the way back to when Alcorn was a boarding school. My grandmother sent their azzez away from home to Alcorn or ANYWHERE they could attend high school and no matter where they were sent, they STILL ended up at Alcorn somehow except for one uncle who went to Tougaloo. So dad, aunts, uncles, brother, and too many cousins to name = ALCORN!

Then my sister broke the Alcorn curse and went to JSU.

Since then, myself and 3 of my first cousins have gona to JSU and one of my first cousins went to FAMU.

Grandmother - PV, but finished at East Texas State (which is now Texas A&M-Commerce). She was given the opportunity to be the first black student there, and help integrate the campus which is why many of my mom's brothers and sisters (4 out of the 9) graduated from there. Ironically, now the school is designated by the federal government as a Predominantly Black Institution.
