HBCU Campus Queens
Few things represent the black college experience and image more than the campus queen. For decades, America's HBCUs have been crowing a queen, a "Miss," to represent their school. In highlighting the accomplishments of black colleges, The AJC has created a growing photo gallery that will feature our current black college queens.

Few things represent the black college experience and image more than the campus queen. For decades, America's HBCUs have been crowing a queen, a "Miss," to represent their school. As part of AJC Sepia's continuing series highlighting the accomplishments of black colleges, we have created a growing photo gallery that will feature our current black college queens.

Check out the current queens inside. (Akili-Casundria Ramsess/Special to the AJC)
