as the story goes around 2000 historically black university colleges (HBUC) realised that little if any entrepreneur curriculum existed in their spaces, so they united around an annual student entrepreneur competition hosted annually out of georgia

things hotted up around 2011 when friends of muhammad yunus wanted to now what were the most sustainable contributions to communities that historically black university colleges could uniquely innovate

we tracked all the competitions held of this sort:

three of the most compelling ideas:
credit unions could partner rural hbuc; the students could develop their own financial literacy training; since most of the wealth around rural hbuc comes from the professors and any endowments from alumni , the saving flows of the credit union should put their money where their mouth is- ie in believing they are training students with growing livelihoods and capable of developing the region

university of district of columbia students desperately sought hubs that would bridge academia and livelihoods; in their words these hubs would be run by practitioners not academics; they would help students incubate and be affordable for any student entrepreneur- in a us wide survey of hubs it was concluded none were as student friendly as kenya's ihub or bransons jamaica hub associated with his extension of south africa's free university

the third type of solution deigned jobs that all university students could collaborate around- new hampshire came up with example of creating a business that recycled furniture and other stuff students buy and sell from end of each year to the start of the next; it was a model that hundreds of students at universities could get behind provided adminstrations got out of the way- since all the trade is student exchanged why not create jobs for students- a parallel idea emerged as an uber jobs agency run by and for students

unfortunately even though the following prominent social forces in atlanta - ted turner family, jimmy carter family, martin luther king family, rosa parks lawyers backed a grand convergence for nov 2015 of all university entrants to be held in atlanta and celebrated by nobel peace laureates rome the rome awarded annual franchise (which had sadly ailed in 2014 to land on cape town to celebrate mandela's heritage due to a spif between the dhalai lama and the s.a gov - 2015 never happened either

WHAT WAS LOST
-the idea had been start up a khan academy type platform of job creating training modules learnt from 15 years of black students exchanges on entrepreneurship and empowering development of their own communities

 the questoin of whom ruined this greatest chance for  black students designing their own university remains under investigation- nov 2015 would have been very timely coming 2 months after launch of un sustainability goals and especially goal 11 sustainability communities and youth's impact .-remember it was the turner family that had pumped a billion dollars into un foundation aimed at making un actionably simple to partner better futures or humanity with

WHEN WILL AMERICAN SOCIETY EVER LEARN THAT POLITICIANS O THE MASS MEDIA AGE DONT SERVE THEIR YOUTHS FUTURES
another worrying incident - in 2008 clinton global was used to promote obama yes youth can campaign - which he then proceeded not to empower youth with- watch april 1 clinton university on bereley and its start of the un year clinton global in september or any repeat pea promises
