HBCU in Houston to host third Democratic presidential debates

The third round of Democratic presidential debates will be held at Texas Southern University, a historically black public university, on September 12 and 13, the university announced Sunday.

The event will be hosted by ABC News and Univision.

“As the heart and soul of Houston, Texas Southern University is proud to serve as the venue for for such a prestigious event,” TSU President Dr. Austin A. Lane said in a statement.

o qualify for the third round of debates, White House hopefuls will have to amass 130,000 unique donors and receive the support of at least 2 percent of respondents in four qualifying polls.

The third debate being held at a historically black university is significant, given the efforts on many candidates to more specifically focus on issues affecting African Americans.

Is one of my most fine experiences. Is the first primary I ever voted in, and Obama is the first candidate I ever contributed money to.

I am so tickled the debate will be at TSU! Right down the road from UofH,... that area of the city is the place of some of the best years of my life. It's a beautiful choice...sniffles, got something in my eye.

Clicking on the link will show the article uses:
"HBCU in Houston ..."

Googling 'HBCU' shows it is an abbreviation for 'historically black college and university'.

So the article is saying:
“Historically Black College and University in Houston to host third Democratic presidential debates”
