Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have long been at the forefront of promoting educational equity and social justice. This study explores the role of critical pedagogy at HBCUs in shaping global leaders who graduated between 1900 and 1980. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research examines how an education grounded in social justice principles influenced the careers of seven global leaders. Through archival research and document analysis, the study investigates how these leaders challenged systemic oppression and contributed to global change. The findings highlight key implications for higher education and global leadership, underscoring the potential of HBCUs to foster more inclusive approaches to diplomacy.
