Olivia Welch

Her picture's on the wall there and her story is written there too. So students actually get a chance to learn who she was, why she's so important, and why domestic violence is not okay and it never will be okay. It lets people know the signs to look for and giving them the proper materials and tools to actually have someone to talk to that is a professional.

It keeps her name alive on campus.

Jackson State is an HBCU, which is a Historically Black College or University. Founded in 1877, so very long time ago, about 150 years. I'm Olivia Welch. I was the managing editor for the Blue and White Flash, the student-led publication for the university.

It's very humbling to be able to go to HBCU, considering that many, many years ago, the people who fought for us to have an HBCU weren't allowed to go to college. This being something that was made for us, it's exciting, it's empowering. I think that's one of the reasons that a lot of students come here generation after generation.

Jackson State, it's a place where you can feel home. You're like family there. We call each other the Tiger family and we're alumni. We're just proud of our dear old college home.

To be able to go to HBCU, it's empowering.
