HBCU Students Unite to Launch Caucus and Advocate for Civic Education Legislation

In a groundbreaking initiative, students from Texas's nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) established the state's inaugural HBCU Legislative Caucus, actively engaging in the 89th legislative session. Under the leadership of State Rep. Ron Reynolds (D-Missouri City), this bipartisan coalition aims to enhance educational opportunities and address disparities in funding. The Caucus recently introduced House Bill 3296, focused on promoting civic education and improving financial support for HBCUs. With broad institutional collaboration, this movement promises to strengthen civic engagement among Texans.
