Paul Quinn College is a private, faith-based, four-year, liberal arts-inspired college that was founded on April 4, 1872 by a group of African Methodist Episcopal Church preachers in Austin, Texas. The school’s original purpose was to educate freed slaves and their offspring. Our mission is to provide a quality, faith-based education that addresses the academic, social, and Christian development of students. It is one of the nation’s consortium of Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as the nation's first urban Work College in the Work College consortium. Members of the College’s student body, alumni, faculty and staff, called Quinnites, embrace the institutional ethos of “WE over Me” and are dedicated to honouring the “Four Ls of Quinnite Leadership,” which are: Leave places better than you found them; Lead from wherever you are; Live a life that matters; and Love something greater than yourself.

Paul Quinn is gathering 1,000 book titles by Black authors with lasting historical and cultural significance, and we want the Quinnite Nation to help choose them.

For generations, Black authors' novels, histories, memoirs, and poetry have shaped how people understand who they are and where they come from - keeping those stories close matters now more than ever.

Drop your pick in the comments with the title and author. If you want, tell us why it belongs on the list. 📚 💜

"There was a lot of talent when I first got here. They just needed a little bit more structure, a little bit more push, some tough love." - Coach Patrick Gonzalez, Paul Quinn Volleyball
