Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence of racial narratives in the collegiate experiences of White athletes attending a historically Black college and university (HBCU). Studying White athletes attending a HBCU seeks to better understand how whiteness and racial narratives are prevalent in higher education domains. There is a growing body of literature studying Black athletes attending HBCUs, but a dearth of scholarship examining White athletes attending HBCUs. Sport is often positioned as a tool of racial connection and an inhibitor of limiting racial prejudices. Given the historical and contemporary racial, political, and cultural dynamics between White and Black Americans, it is imperative to examine the experiences of White athletes at HBCUs.
