FAMU President Attends White House Black History Month Event

FAMU President Attends White House Black History Month Event
Posted By: Will Moss on February 19, 2026

The president of Florida A&M University (FAMU) attended a Black History Month event at the White House, marking the institution's representation at the national celebration.

The event, hosted by President Trump, brought together leaders and representatives to observe Black History Month, an annual celebration recognizing the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history.

Key Takeaway: FAMU's presidential presence at the White House underscores the institution's continued role in national conversations about Black history and excellence in higher education.

Florida A&M University, located in Tallahassee, Florida, is one of the nation's premier historically Black colleges and universities.



Founded in 1887, FAMU has a long tradition of academic excellence and has produced generations of leaders across various fields including business, education, healthcare, and public service.

The White House has historically hosted events during Black History Month to honor the legacy and ongoing contributions of African Americans to the nation. These gatherings typically bring together leaders from various sectors, including education, civil rights, business, and government.

Presidential attendance at such events demonstrates the continued connection between HBCUs and national leadership, highlighting the important role these institutions play in American higher education and their contributions to developing future leaders.

FAMU continues to serve as a flagship institution among HBCUs, maintaining its commitment to academic excellence and student success while engaging with national initiatives and conversations about Black achievement and history.
