Who we are

The world's first organization dedicated to the Jewish HBCU community. That exists? It does!

HBCJ is the answer to the question, "am I the only Jew on campus?" We are the growing community of Jewish HBCU students/graduates amplifying the lived experience and storied history of Jewish identity across each and every HBCU.
