university faculty and research professionals to amplify their combined resources and share information instantaneously across states and time zones.

Our effort in this arena exemplifies TMCF's continued commitment to capacity building. It is our focus that HBCUProfessor.org will open the gateway and create a surge in the pipeline of faculty at HBCU's to become published and tenured.

The increased production of tenured faculty at HBCUs will ultimately champion Justice Thurgood Marshall's uncompromising dedication to education equality.
