DURHAM -- Representatives from the news network CNN stopped by N.C. Central University on Thursday as a part of their Black in America series. The station is visiting six historically black colleges and universities in the Southeast.

"Some people are just waiting for those like me, the filmmakers, the directors, the up-and-coming people to come and tell their story," said Erica Horne, who submitted a story telling with it means to be black in America.

NCCU is the second stop for CNN’s series, which looks to tell the stories that often go unreported. Some of the stories, according to sophomore Rashad White, are about “what is going right instead of what is wrong,” he explained. “Make stories about people like me trying to be an educator and all of us here in college.”

Inside the event, video booths were set up so students could tell their story and have it aired on CNN. Students say race is less of an issue when you are a student at a historically black university.

"It is not as if you are black in America because you are surrounded by so many African-American people and so many people of your ethnic background," said junior Rejon Littlepage.

CNN’s tour will stop by N.C. A&T on Friday. The final stop for the tour is at the Atlanta University Center on April 22.
