Transform Mid-Atlantic

The inaugural Good Trouble: Continuing the Legacy and Purpose of HBCUs conference, held on April 15 (Virtual) and April 16 (in person) brought together students, faculty, staff, and community partners from multiple HBCUs to reflect on Black history, civic engagement, and social advocacy.

Through dialogue and workshops, participants explored critical media literacy, leadership, and community impact. Presenters, including our keynote speaker, Dr. Karsonya (Kaye) Wise Whitehead, Ph.D. , inspired students to take action through voting and other forms of social and political engagement.

Hosted by Bowie State University the conference fostered connection, empowerment, and a shared commitment to advancing the legacy of HBCUs and student activism.
