About this listen

 Black College Matters is a podcast dedicated to celebrating, discussing, and advocating for Historically Black Colleges and the global experiences of Black students. Hosted by LeMoyne-Owen College English & Communications Assistant Professor Dr. Seth E. Davis, the show blends cultural analysis with nostalgia as each episode revisits classic ’90s Black sitcoms that highlighted HBCU life. Through thoughtful reflection and lively commentary, Black College Matters explores why these stories still resonate and why HBCUs continue to matter today.Dr. Seth E. Davis Social Sciences
