These buildings are truly historic in nature and add to the character, history and legacy of the nation's first HBCU. Therefore, they should be added to the National Register of Historic Places and not be demolished.

You should not wait for the administration before applying for the national historic designation, which will stymie efforts to demolish the buildings.

Once gone we can't bring them back. Please save important links to our traditions-our buildings.

We are history. If we can be historically preserved, don't destroy our legacy. At least, let's have our proposal brought before the Board to be heard. I do not want to sound negative or want to be accused of character assasination; however, Ms. Lloyd was not around when I went to Lincoln, and therefore does not understand the Lincoln University experience

Unfortunately, this is an often repeated mistake at our HBCU's. The demolition of these historic buildings and the lack of historical education has contributed to the mailaise and misunderstanding of our history in general in America. Let's reverse this process. -Earl L. Ijames, Curator NC Museum of History

I can see some of the dorms if the cost to renovate would outweigh the cost of new construction. The older campus bldgs should just be renovated. They have historical value and add character to the campus.

These buildings are integral facets of Lincoln's proud history and hold countless untold stories of our past. Our historic buildings bring character and value to the equation.

The buildings are just as much as part of Lincoln's history as it's students. If those halls could talk, the story's they could tell. Every campus has it's historical buildings not to be touched. Leave the BUILDINGS ALONE.

Don't let Lincoln University's long and powerful legacy of Black Intellectual Excellence in the service of Freedom get erased by the destruction of historic buildings and the imposition of a cultural of anti-intellectualism and a Eurocentric worldview that relegates Lincoln's Black Past and Present to invisibility or... an accidental footnote.

I am writing to render my support to the Lincoln University Historic Initiative. With our looking to the future and progress there also needs to be a valuing of the past and its preservation where possible. Surely an overall campus plan can accommodate both!
