“I am extremely proud and excited about the participation of our students in the Smithsonian HBCU HCAC initiative,” said Dr. Alvia Wardlaw, professor and director/curator of the University Museum. “The work that they are doing to catalog and digitize our collection is timely and critical. It allows us to now connect with the global audiences who will experience the cultural treasures of Texas Southern University.”
