What happens when outsiders to the HBCU community try to impact Black college culture? The answer may not be as straightforward as you think.
From The Huffington Post
State laws that ban convicted felons from voting are having the unintentional (or is it intentional?) effect of disenfranchising one in eight African-American men.
An estimated 5.3 million Americans are denied the right to vote based on their felony convictions, 4 million of whom are out of prison. About a third of them are black, including 13 percent of all African-American men.
