    Maryland Public Television HBCU Week

    This fall marks the fifth season promoting historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on Maryland Public Television through content both produced locally and acquired from producers elsewhere exclusively about the HBCU experience. HBCU Week offers films about the under-told stories of sacrifice, courage, innovation, and hope found in the archives of these important American institutions. 

    This year's HBCU Week features 30 hours of programming, including 12 premiere films across our TV, social media, and online platforms. It also expanded its themes beyond history and education to include films on HBCU contributions to the arts, music, and sports.  
    HBCU Week is part of MPT's “Standing Against Racism: Fostering Unity Through Dialogue” initiative.
