Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Black students at a mid-Atlantic Historically Black College/University (HBCU) articulated three major challenges that affected their mental health. Based on narratives of three students who shared their experiences, these challenges described were anxiety, isolation, and distress. From the perspective of these three HBCU students, this chapter will explore what life was like for these students during the COVID-19 pandemic and ways to overcome the aforementioned mental challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic put a glaring spotlight on the most crippling and unforeseen difficulties and mental challenges that affect the Black community.
