FAMU President Marva B. Johnson Attends White House Black History Month Celebration
Posted By: Will Moss on February 18, 2026


Florida A&M University (FAMU) President Dr. Marva B. Johnson attended the White House Black History Month celebration, representing the historic institution at one of the nation's most prestigious commemorative events.

The White House event brought together leaders from across the country to honor Black History Month and recognize the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture. President Johnson's attendance underscores FAMU's continued prominence among historically Black colleges and universities and its leadership's engagement at the highest levels of national discourse.

Key Takeaway: FAMU's presence at the White House Black History Month celebration highlights the university's standing as a leading HBCU and its president's role in national conversations about education and African American achievement.

President Johnson's participation in the White House celebration demonstrates the continued recognition of HBCUs as vital institutions in American higher education.



Florida A&M University, founded in 1887, remains one of the nation's premier historically Black colleges and universities, known for its academic excellence and commitment to student success.

The White House has historically used Black History Month celebrations to convene leaders from education, civil rights, business, and government sectors to reflect on the African American experience and chart a course for continued progress. FAMU's representation at such gatherings reinforces the university's role as an important voice in these national conversations.

Under President Johnson's leadership, FAMU has continued to advance its mission of providing access to quality education while maintaining its legacy as a cornerstone institution within the HBCU community. Her attendance at the White House event reflects the visibility and influence that FAMU maintains in national education policy discussions.

The celebration serves as an opportunity for HBCU leaders like President Johnson to network with policymakers, advocate for continued support for historically Black institutions, and share best practices that have made these universities successful in educating generations of African American students.

Florida A&M University continues to play a significant role in shaping the future of higher education while honoring the rich history and traditions that have made HBCUs essential to the American educational landscape.
