After emancipation, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) were formed to provide higher education to the newly freed Negro enslaved. Since this time, HBCU’s have produced millions of graduates that contribute to every sector of society. Today, HBCU’s must evolve again and accept the challenge of preparing our nation’s Black citizens and beyond with the industry skills that will ensure their employability and viability in the future of work, fourth industrial revolution and beyond. This OHUB interactive panel with Momentum Learning , Princess Sampson, & Dr. Kinnis Gosha will make the case for the launch of a coding school at an HBCU, MSI, foundation, corporation and beyond.

In a recent report by Living Cities on Radical Collaboration for Black Wealth, a new thesis for capital formation for the new majority is presented. Racial equity is at the basis of that thesis. This interactive discussion with Demetric Duckett, Marlon Nichols, Chandler Malone, and Arian Simone will discuss the report and its implication on creating a new class of investors, funds and founders committed to creating new multi-generational wealth in socially disadvantaged communities and beyond. It will not regurgitate the discouraging statistics that have been reported out over the last decade. We will discuss solutions. Tune in at: www.blackandhired.com #BlackAndHired #OHUBSXSW20 #SXSW
