Catch the Fisk University Gymnastics team on the Jennifer Hudson Show today at 2 PM on CW. The gymnasts sit down with the two-time grammy award winner and discuss being part of the first HBCU gymnastics team and how a video of the first practice amassed over 1 million views!

Paraphrasing DuBois from @toldson’s #TorchTalk @UNCFICB “One could not be a calm, cool, & detached scientist [educator] while Negroes [Black students] were [intellectually, culturally, emotionally] lynched, murdered, and starved.” -W.E.B. DuBois @CenterBlackEd #UNCFUNITE
