Our Values and
Philosophy

Spearheaded by Maryland Public Television (MPT), this platform serves as a premier destination for in-depth coverage of the nation’s 103 HBCUs, showcasing the achievements, stories, and contributions of students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
The initiative’s name reflects its core mission: why wait for the nationally recognized HBCU Week each September when you can access comprehensive, real-time HBCU-focused content NOW? Available on YouTube, HBCU Week NOW delivers an extensive library of on-demand programming, offering audiences immediate access to history, and inspiring narratives that shape the HBCU experience.
HBCU Week NOW offers films about the under-told stories of sacrifice, courage, innovation, and hope that chronicle HBCU contributions to science, medicine, history, education, civil rights, the arts, music, sports, and more!
