Video Interviews and Book Released on HBCU Past Presidents Oral History Project

The Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library announces the completion of an oral history project documenting the experiences and administrative contributions of living former presidents of HBCUs. The materials produced from the project-video interviews and an accompanying book titled The Politics of Success: An HBCU Leadership Paradigm-are free and now available to the public. The project was funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Eighteen former presidents of HBCUs participated in the project, including Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole (Spelman and Bennett Colleges), Dr. Samuel DuBois Cook (Dillard University), Dr. Nathaniel R. Jackson (Mary Holmes College), and Dr. Joseph B. Johnson (Grambling State University and Talledega College). In roundtable discussions and individual interviews, the presidents converse about issues of American higher education within the context of the HBCU experience and the unique educational value HBCUs provide. Discussion topics include qualities of leadership, institutional mission, governance, fundraising, and issues of gender, race, and national educational policies. The companion book authored by Dr. Barbara R. Hatton, former president of South Carolina State University and Knoxville College, with preface by Loretta Parham, CEO & Director of the AUC Woodruff Library, offers an overview of the development of HBCUs since their inception in the 1860s and the challenges the leaders of these institutions have overcome.

The video interviews and a digital copy of The Politics of Success: An HBCU Leadership Paradigm are accessible at http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/hbcupres http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/hbcupres/.
