Next week, Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country will celebrate #HBCUOutLoudDay.

On October 15 and beyond, we’ll dare to #DreamOutLoud and tell our stories. Now more than ever, we must reclaim our narrative by sharing our dream for a better future: hrc.im/HBCUOutLoudDay
Black background with cursive white text and a rainbow boarder: "Dream Out Loud." Below is white text "HBCU OutLoud Day 2025". HRC Foundation logo appears.

“Even if you are not directly involved with the arts and humanities, you should be concerned.”

Censorship doesn’t stop at art, history, or literature. It seeps into everyday life, shaping what we say, how we think, and what stories survive. https://bit.ly/43blQXA

“Conversion therapy” is pseudoscience. Period.

The Supreme Court must uphold the constitutionality of these legal restrictions and stand strongly between our children and these abusive practices.
On a blue gradient background with imagery of the Supreme Court and the HRC logo, white and yellow text reads, “Today’s oral arguments made clear that, as Colorado’s Solicitor General stated, history, precedent, and commonsense must allow states to hold licensed providers accountable to the recommendations of every mainstream medical and mental health association.” Attributed to Kelley Robinson, President, HRC, in response to Chiles v. Salazar oral arguments.

Their work does more than inspire. It confronts injustice and resists oppression. From painting to performance to music, artists are using every medium to remind us that art is not a luxury but a lifeline for civic imagination and resilience.
