Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Angelina Jolie in September in Beverly Hills, California

The news that Zahara Jolie-Pitt will be attending Spelman College in Atlanta is quite a boon to HBCUs.

As the daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the teen had her choice of schools. And by choosing one of the best known of the historically Black colleges and universities to matriculate at, she brings a great deal of attention to the liberal arts college.

Her mother proudly announced Jolie-Pitt’s choice on social media, and the excitement for her was palpable.

I get it, as I count several Spelman graduates as good friends. A supportive sisterhood awaits Jolie-Pitt.

Good luck to her and all the incoming freshmen across the nation this semester.
