The story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (aka HBCUs) began before the Civil War and influenced the course of our nation yet remains one of America’s most important untold stories. Until now.
Veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson’s latest work traces the century-and-a-half story of HBCUs in the documentary film “Tell Them We Are Rising” revealing the crucial role of HBCUs not only in the identity of black Americans but in the nation as a whole.
A haven for Black intellectuals, artists and revolutionaries — and path of promise toward the American dream — Black colleges and universities have educated the architects of freedom movements and cultivated leaders in every field.

After Monday’s Raw, the corporate machine has really made an impact on the WWE roster. With the breakdown of the world’s largest athlete and the firing of Cody Rhodes, it definitely seems to be a theme of the wrong place wrong time with the new regime. And that carried over strangely to Main Event and Nxt as weird booking was in effect.
Josh Matthews welcomes us to Minneapolis, Minnesota alongside the returning Alex Riley. I love Riley in this role. He really does a great job in getting the sports analogies much like Jim Ross. We actually get a double dose this week as he commentates Nxt as well.
The night begins as Fandango goes against Justin Gabriel. The match itself was nothing spectacular not like Gabriel’s brand-new shirt that looks like the spokesman for Jack’s Links Beef Jerky Other than a dive to the outside...

Hello everyone, I’m here for the double dose of Wednesday World Wrestling Entertainment, The Main Event and Nxt. This week, I’m going to do something a little bit different. Let’s start with this week’s Nxt from Full Sail University.
After the show open, the action instantly kicks off with the last semi-final match in the Nxt Women’s Championship tournament. Tom Phillips and Brad Maddox welcome us with the dance card definitely full as Summer Rae battles the very bubbly Emma. Overall, a good match with some good back and forth. Summer once again uses her legs in interesting ways. Emma looked the best she had in quite some time and getting the character she is starting to get the balance of entertaining alongside wrestling. In the end, Emma pulls out the upset after a series pinfalls.
Afterwards, Summer Rae attacks Emma which brings down Paige...
