Building the Next Generation of Leaders—One Book at a Time
The Show Some HBCU Love™ movement is more than a children's book series, it's a national initiative to inspire children, celebrate the rich legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and help strengthen their future.
Each book introduces young readers to an HBCU through engaging storytelling while highlighting the graduates, traditions, leadership, excellence, and lasting impact these institutions have made on our communities and the world.
Our vision extends far beyond Morehouse College and Spelman College.
We're creating a Show Some HBCU Love™ book for every HBCU so children everywhere can discover the incredible history and legacy of these remarkable institutions while beginning to dream about their own college journey.

🌍 Our Long-Term Mission
Our goal is to create 100+ Show Some HBCU Love™ books, representing every Historically Black College and University in America.
But we're dreaming even bigger.
Our mission is to help build a national movement that encourages more students to attend HBCUs, engages alumni, families, and supporters, and contributes to stronger endowments across the country.
🎯 Our Big Goal
Help every HBCU grow its endowment to more than $1 BILLION.
We believe children's books can do more than teach reading.
They can inspire dreams.
They can build future leaders.
They can strengthen the institutions that have educated generations of Black excellence.
Together, we can help children dream bigger while helping HBCUs build an even brighter future.
