Breaking Barriers: Black Men Navigating Higher Education

On this episode of The Reckoning, host Dr. Deion Hawkins sits down with guest Dr. Lance T. McCready for an honest conversation about what it truly means to break barriers as Black men in higher education. Together, they share powerful personal stories, talk through the challenges they’ve faced (from early schooling to the college classroom) and reflect on the growing gender gap at historically Black colleges. Dr. Hawkins and Dr. McCready highlight why mentorship, representation, and having the right support system can change everything for young Black men. They discuss the pressures of affordability and identity, and urge colleges to step up in creating spaces where Black men feel seen, valued, and empowered to succeed. Rooted in solidarity and an understanding of community differences, this episode delivers real insights on why choosing the right school and finding your tribe make all the difference.
