HBCU Calendar 2012 – ON SALE NOW!
Since 2006, the Black History Educational Network has produced this spectacular annual calendar as a fundraising vehicle for the nation’s 105 Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
So far, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for HBCU schools with the calendar, which is sold in more than 2,300 locations nationwide!
Since 1837, HBCUs have produced some of our country’s most prominent African-American leaders. Yet, despite the important work they do, Historically Black Colleges and Universities have always faced daily financial struggles to remain open.
With the dual goal of raising funds for and awareness of HBCUs, and to document the historical achievements of outstanding African Americans, this special commemorative limited edition calendar was created.
The calendar:
Features 13 “notable” African-American history makers/celebrities on the cover and inside – one for each month (December through December).
Profiles 12 HBCUs by the chronological order in which they were established.
Provides Black history facts on important dates.
Highlights the Black Greek fraternities and sororities and other national African American organizations interested in education.

Gadsden State Community College
This two-year college of just fewer than 6,000 students began as Alabama Technical College in 1925, which merged in 1985 with Gadsden State Technical Institute and Gadsden State Junior College.
Hello,
I purchased a calendar from a Walgreens in Milwaukee, WI. The information provided is great! Unfortunately, there is a typo in the details about Mr Fred Douglas. I didn’t check for any other errors (I hope there aren’t any), but I’m super excited that such a thing exists. Thanks for putting it together and sharing with the world!!!

I first saw this at walgreens In security Colorado and i knew I had to get it and I purchased it today and knew had to start collecting them just my son who is five and can learn his history and put faces to them all. Thank you all
Love the calendar but disappointed you left out the nursing professions. We do have an Official Day, it is May 6th. Hoping this was just an over sight, because we do work hard caring for people.
Thank – you
I also purchased my calendar at a Walgreen’s and was very excited to see it! I believe you want to print quality, so I would suggest having someone like myself (an editor) to proofread your material! Your info on Tyler Perry has his movies mixed – “Family Reunion” came BEFORE “Diary” and introduced Madea to mainstream America….otherwise, this is a wonderful tool for teaching and sharing!
Thanks!
