Abstract
This qualitative narrative study explored the narratives of Black undergraduate students at Predominantly White Institutions, and their stories of hope, healing, and liberation. A semi-structured interview process was employed in conjunction with photo-elicitation to gain insight regarding the participants’ experiences. The researcher aimed to center the voices of Black undergraduate students in order to provide a broader perspective of how Predominantly White Institutions can better support Black students. This study utilized BlackCrit as a lens through which the participants’ experiences navigating Anti-Black environments could be understood. This study positioned Black students as experts, and presented implications for Predominantly White Institutions as well as K-12 school systems. The findings of this qualitative study indicated that Black undergraduate students at PWIs exercise their unwavering hope in pursuit of healing and liberation.
