This transcribed interview details various contributing factors to poor facilities maintenance at various Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Specifically, it is outlined that several land grant institutions have not received the federal funds owed to them and that many states are just beginning to equitably allocate funds to these institutions due to contemporary lawsuits. This article would be a great supplemental resource for learners exploring any issues of racial inequality. Teachers exploring said issues are also encouraged to play Parable of the Polygons (https://ncase.me/polygons/) with their learners. It is available in 16 languages.
