WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 31: Students from Harvard College, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and other HBCUs join fellow proponents of affirmative action in higher education to rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court on October 31, 2022 in Washington, DC. The Court will hear arguments in two cases, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, regarding the consideration of race as one factor in college admission at the two elite universities, which will have an effect on most institutions of higher education in the United States.
