January Cheyney Challenge

Cheyney has revised its motto.

Not only "a national treasure" or "the nation's oldest HBCU," the university has re-branded itself "the nation’s first HBCU" or -- as worded on its homepage at the time of this writing -- "the nation’s first HBCU—established in 1837." (For more, see ​cheyney.edu/who-we-are/the-first-hbcu.)

Please join the #CheyneyChallenge in 2023, a monthly donation campaign for America's first HBCU. 

I made my most recent donation of $18.37 today.

As a note, I've been unable to re-automate my donations after updating my payment info and or payment method. None has withdrawn my account in 12 months via the school's online payment system. I'll see what I can do from my checking account.

Hopefully, many more small donors have better luck.

The Cheyney Challenge is an initiative of alumnus Mr. Bright. I committed to it on WURD's Radio Courtroom in 2015, and began donating the following year. ​
