The new program comes from the Propel Center, which was created in 2021 by one of Apple’s earliest investments from its Racial Equity and Justice Initiative (REIU). In the same year, Apple also awarded $5 million to four historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU).
According to Variety, the Propel Center is now running working with 19 HBCUs for a 2024 Arts & Entertainment Industry Accelerator. It’s a year-long program aimed at creating greater diversity in the industry.
