They made voting harder. HBCU students marched anyway.

Hundreds of students from North Carolina A&T, Bennett College and UNC Greensboro marched to the polls after their campuses were left without early-voting sites.

Some walked nearly two hours round trip, with actress Marsai Martin joining the October 22 effort.

Their message was clear: Their voices will be heard.

ELEVATE YOUR V.O.I.C.E. YOUR VOICE MATTERS‼️

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, voters across the nation will participate in the midterm elections.

At HBC&U Legacies, we recognize the historical significance of civic engagement and the powerful role HBCU students, alumni, and communities have played in advancing voting rights.

We believe that awareness precedes action, and informed participation strengthens communities.

That’s why we’re introducing V.O.I.C.E., our civic engagement and voter empowerment initiative!

🗳️ V — VOTE: Exercise your right! Verify your registration, research the issues, and make your voting plan.

🤝🏾 O — ORGANIZE: Mobilize your circle! Connect with friends, classmates, campus organizations, and community networks.

📚 I — INFORM: Knowledge is power! Research candidates, understand the issues, and share accurate information.

🌍 C — COMMUNITY: Utilize your village! Connect with resources that help remove barriers to voting, including transportation, documentation, and voter assistance.

✊🏾 E — EMPOWER: Own your power! Encourage civic participation, inspire leadership, and remain engaged beyond Election Day.

From the classroom to the campus, from the yard to our communities, civic engagement is part of building a legacy.

As November 3 approaches, take time to learn about the candidates, issues, and voting procedures in your community.

Your vote is your choice. Your voice deserves to be heard.

ELEVATE YOUR V.O.I.C.E.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Your Vote. Your Community. Your Future.

Central State students used to walk across the road to vote at Wilberforce. Not this year.

After Xenia annexed Ohio's only public HBCU in September, campus voters were moved to Xenia Grace Chapel, about six miles away. Not every student has a car.

So they're organizing: free rides from the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, vans coordinated by the NPHC, and ballot forums on campus.
