Flint, MI – The Floyd and Brenda Clack (FBC) Initiative will host its 4th Annual Flint to HBCU Forum on Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM at the International Academy of Flint. This free and public event aims to inspire Flint-area students to explore Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and understand their cultural and academic significance.
Co-hosted by FBC Founder and Hampton University senior Hailee Clack and Morehouse College junior Antonio Sweeney, the forum will feature two engaging panels. The first will highlight current HBCU students and alumni sharing their journeys and advice. The second will explore national education policies and the challenges facing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), featuring leaders such as Dr. Pamela Pugh, former Congressman Daniel Kildee, Edmund Graham, and Julianna Boye.
Attendees will also enjoy free food, community giveaways, and access to information tables on youth programs and college prep resources.
Founded by Hailee Clack in honor of her grandparents—both HBCU graduates and respected Flint educators—the FBC Initiative aims to increase college readiness and encourage HBCU enrollment among Flint youth.
The community is invited to join the forum for an evening of education, empowerment and community!
