The presidential advisory board on historically Black colleges and universities is getting some star power. Actress Taraji P. Henson and the NBA's Chris Paul are among 18 people appointed to the board that will support the mission of these institutions.
Besides Allen and Glover, the presidents of five other HBCUs will also join the board. They are Virginia State University, Norfolk State University in Virginia, Alabama State University, Prairie View A&M University in Texas and Dillard University in New Orleans.
Lisa Jackson, who became the EPA’s first Black administrator in the Obama administration, and United Airlines President Brett Hart will also join the board. Biden also intends to appoint Paige Blake, a 20-year-old junior at Bowie State University, an HBCU in Maryland. The White House said the administration has committed $5.8 billion in support to these historically Black colleges and universities through a combination of pandemic relief funding, grants and forgiving capital improvement debt.
