Tell Them We Are Rising explores the pivotal role historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have played over the course of 150 years in American history, culture, and identity. This film reveals the rich history of HBCUs and the power of higher education to transform lives and advance civil rights and equality in the face of injustice.

After the screening, we will discuss HBCUs, as well as cultural education as it relates to our Islands, including Hawaiian immersion programs.
