Students for Life has been making great strides in bringing a pro-life message to college campuses across the country, and now, there has been another exciting development: their first group at a historically Black college\/university<\/a> (HBCU) has been launched.<\/p>\n

Mississippi Valley State University was, like many other HBCUs, founded before segregation was ended with the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Their chapter of Students for Life was officially recognized in January, just in time for Black History Month. Elizabeth Parker, the Appalachian Regional Coordinator and Minorities Outreach Regional Coordinator for Students for Life, applauded the pro-lifers on campus for their accomplishment. “Abortion has been a scourge on the Black community, including places like New York, where a Black baby is more likely to be aborted than born,” she said in the press release. “The formation of this group is a tremendous victory for the pro-life movement and a great step in ending abortion in the Black community. I am so proud of MVSU Students for Life and I know we will continue to work to start even more Students for Life groups at HBCUs across the country.”<\/p>\n
