- Abstract
This survey is a pilot test examining the centrality of Blackness to students' racial identity, and the level of regard the have for their racial group. Respondents in the convenience sample (n=l 14), are Jackson State University (JSU) students. JSU is a Historically Black College and University, located in Jackson, Mississippi. Sample respondents are majority urban, southern, and female, traditional-aged college students. Survey results indicate that Blackness is a central aspect of these students' racial identity, and they possess a high degree of regard for their racial group. Respondents also maintain a high degree of race pride, a positive self-image, and feel connected to other African-Americans, all of which echo research on racial identity and enrollment at HBCUs.
