Against the backdrop of a debilitating pandemic, civil unrest, and the resumption of social activities as vaccines became available, alumni from the nation’s HBCUs gathered on the steps of Morningside Park in Harlem in 2021\. Inspired by the iconic 1958 photograph "A Great Day in Harlem," the historic photograph symbolizes the unity, resilience, and enduring spirit of the HBCU community.
