My study documents the formation and impact of the student-led movement of Black Lives Matter in Higher Education (BLMHE) that is housed within Teachers College Higher and Pos tsecondary Education Program (HPSE). This group consists of HPSE students and faculty thathave come together to analyze the effects of systemic societal forceson members of the HPSE community and their broader effects on higher education. BLMHE hassince come together to show solidarity and support for students of color at TCthrough demonstrating their general commitment to social justice in the form

of an educational seminar program. This study, which relies on oral history interviews with BLMHE's three student co-founders, examines the formation and impact of BLMHE, how they analyze the effects of systemic societal forces on members of their community, and their broader effects on higher

education.
