For many black folks, HBCU love is something to be born into, or forced through cultural immersion. With growing outreach from predominantly white institutions to black students, the need for HBCU cultural infusion grows greater by the day, and specifically among youth.
So books like ‘I Love My SSU‘ are critical tools in the effort to raise the next generation of HBCU students and supporters. From the website:
“This book follows Tiger (a fictional character) as he makes his way through campus starting from the top by Hill Hall all the way to the Theodore A. Wright stadium to cheer on the Tiger football team during homecoming,” says (author Desmond) Delk. “Along the way, he sees how excited the students, alumni and friends are about the university and homecoming, and in return Tiger is thrilled about the school and the game,” says Delk.

There’s only two places where a 91-year-old can bring out excitement in 20-year-olds. A black church, and a historically black college.
Savannah State University got lucky recently with a taste of both, courtesy of a visit from Rev. Joseph Lowery.
