Brenton Guy
Why an HBCU?
My parents immersed my brother and me in the HBCU culture and love on the campuses of Virginia State, Hampton, and Virginia Union universities. That led me to Fisk University in Nashville.
How did it shape you?
The experience of being the majority population for four years reminded me that while Black people are not a monolith, we are strongly united by unique experiences and traditions.
Most significant memory?
Exploring our special collection, archives, and two art galleries full of historic recordings, books, and paintings—the same ones visited by tourists, historians, and collectors from across the world—is one of my favorite memories.
