HBCU's

At Florida’s only public HBCU, some students now fear political constraints might get in the way of teaching parts of their history.

Florida A&M University celebrated homecoming last week with day-long events to recognize past, present, and future Ratters.

The U.S. Department of Education has asked Florida leaders to pump more funding into FAMU, pointing to a “longstanding and ongoing underinvestment” by the state.

They provide fellowship and a means to celebrate the rich history tied to historically Black colleges. The game between Florida A&M and Jackson State earlier this month was proof of that.

Attorneys for six FAMU students have filed a revised lawsuit alleging that the historically Black university “remains separate and unequal” to other schools in the state.

The first FAMU Rattlers bobblehead is part of the officially licensed HBCU Bobblehead Series, which features 13 schools and coincides with Black History Month.

The federal lawsuit alleges that the state has maintained “a segregated system of higher education” and that Florida’s disparate funding and support for FAMU violates constitutional equal-protection rights.

Florida A&M University (FAMU) has been selected to help launch the HBCU Transformation Project. It's designed to drive long-term progress across HBCUs and impact the Black economy.

More than two decades after pipe-bomb explosions shook Florida A&M University, a federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a 54-year prison sentence for a man who was convicted of planting the bombs in what authorities said were racially motivated incidents.

A national nonprofit is giving more than $650,000 in grants to help five historically Black colleges and universities to help preserve their campuses, including FAMU.
