HBCU GO, the Allen Media Group-owned free-streaming digital platform that focuses on sports and culture linked to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) sports and culture, has entered into a partnership with “the nation’s largest and most effective education organization for underrepresented students.”
The agreement with UNCF unites HBCU GO with an advocate for equal access to higher education.
“Through cross-platform programming, the partnership will broadcast the academic, cultural, and athletic triumphs of UNCF member institutions to millions of viewers worldwide,” AMG said in a Tuesday announcement.
The alliance has already yielded a new video content series, “HBCU Voices: Executive Leaders Unfiltered.” AMG added that the new collaboration with UNCF enables the digitally distributed video platform “to make an even deeper investment in the entire campus ecosystem, spotlighting academic excellence, HBCU presidential leadership, alumni success, innovation, and the economic engines driving these historic institutions.”
“As a proud graduate of Central State University, I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of HBCUs and the invaluable lessons gained from mentors who have walked the same journey,” said Curtis Symonds, Co-Founder and President of HBCU GO. “I remain committed to empowering our youth, and this landmark partnership with UNCF reflects our shared belief that ‘A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste’ as well as our dedication to creating safe, inspiring spaces where young people can learn, grow, and succeed.”
