Our Mission

“Bridging Structural Holes/BSH is elevating the rich stories and histories of our dynamic HBCUs — and making them accessible here in NYC! The Historic HBCU Photograph connected NYC’s Black History with that of HBCUs, creating one of the greatest showcases of HBCU pride ever — even during the global pandemic. I’m honored to have represented my Alma Mater, Florida A&M University, on that great day in Harlem.”

“In September of 2021 I was invited to be a part of the Historic HBCU Photograph. As a proud 3x HBCU alumna I represented-- Hampton, Norfolk, and Morgan. The Photograph led to the Documentary, and a panel discussion series, which allowed the audience to explore the full HBCU experience. All in all, Bridging Structural Holes/BSH curates dope experiences for the community & HBCU culture!”

"Bridging Structural Holes/BSH is an Amazing organization that mainly focuses on exposing parents and youth to Historically Black Colleges & Universities. The Historic HBCU Photograph is awesome! No matter which HBCU you attended you are considered family. The basketball games that have been put on over the years have grown to be the main event for the Summer and Fall. Players from many HBCUs come to NYC to show their talents to alumni, students and supporters of HBCUs."

“As a proud supporter and Alumni President of an HBCU…..Grambling State University, I am honored to be affiliated with Bridging Structural Holes/BSH. They’ve been a huge contributing factor in conveying the word, providing knowledge and showcasing the true spirit and culture of Historically Black Colleges & Universities to the community and more importantly our youth through their incredible programs, events, projects and unforgettable experiences.”
