The Spirit of Giving: Preserving Tuskegee Pride
Every Purchase Supports the Legacy
At Taliaferro Union we are deeply rooted in the heritage of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. That’s why a portion of every sale goes directly to Tuskegee University. Together we can support our students, preserve the history, and invest in the future of the institution that has shaped generations of excellence.
Why Tuskegee University Matters
Tuskegee is not just a school, it’s a living monument to Black achievement. Founded in 1881 by Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee has nurtured pioneers in science, art, agriculture, and leadership. Her alumni have influenced the world, and its campus is filled with stories that continue to inspire.
Our connection to Tuskegee is personal. Many of our designs are drawn from the university’s archives, photographs, uniforms, and yearbooks that capture a proud and enduring style. Giving back is our way of honoring that legacy and ensuring it continues to thrive for generations to come.
How Your Purchase Helps
When you shop with us, you’re not just buying, you’re helping:
-
Fund Scholarships & Student Support – Opening doors for the next generation of Tuskegee graduates.
-
Preserve Historic Landmarks – Maintaining treasured sites like the Tuskegee Chapel, George Washington Carver Museum, and the iconic “Singing Windows.”
-
Support Cultural Programs – Strengthening arts, music, and history initiatives that keep HBCU traditions alive.
-
Enhance Student Life & Athletics – Building opportunities for leadership, teamwork, and school pride.
Why HBCUs Need Our Support
HBCUs make up just a small fraction of U.S. colleges, yet they produce an outsized number of Black professionals and leaders. They are beacons of opportunity, cultural pride, and academic excellence, often operating with fewer resources than other institutions.
Every purchase from Taliaferro Union fuels this mission, ensuring that Tuskegee University and the wider HBCU community, can continue to inspire, educate, and lead.
