Obama Courts Historically Black Colleges And Universities.

Singled out in Vibe magazine, dropped in some of hip-hop's hottest songs of the summer from the likes of Talib Kweli to Common, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination are focusing strongly on the student population, including those at historically black colleges and universities.

"The campaign's dedication to engaging historically black institutions isn't limited to the early (primary) states but also reaches to all HBCUs in states that have primaries on Feb. 5," Super Tuesday, said Candice Tolliver, senior communications adviser for African American press.
These schools include Howard, Florida A&M, Clark Atlanta and Hampton universities, and Morehouse and Spelman colleges.
