Kristopher Sorhaindo's blog on The Research and Methodology Lecture

Dr. Williams's lecture explained you should do research for a purpose, like for a certain productive reason. I liked this lecture because she was right. Nobody wants to do research for no reason. This might have been one of the realest, down to earth lectures I have heard all semester. The research me and my group did was on how HBCU’s benefited African American student then PWI’s. The research that we did was pretty interesting and fun. I learned how much some HBCU’s benefited blacks. HBCUs are institutions founded primarily for the education of African-Americans, although their charters were not exclusionary. Most HBCUs are 50 to 100 years old; the oldest HBCU dates back to 1837. Of the 105 HBCUs, 17 HBCUs have land-grant status. About 214,000 or 16 percent of all African-American higher education students in the nation are enrolled at HBCUs, which comprise 3 percent of all colleges and universities nation-wide. (HBCUinfo.com)
