A heartwarming and unforgettable collection of love stories at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that explore hope, endurance, and what it means to leave a legacy, from some of today's most prominent Black writers and edited by the acclaimed author of Love Radio.

Featuring stories by Elizabeth Acevedo, Kiese Laymon, Dawnie Walton, Farrah Rochon, Kennedy Ryan, Christine Platt, Nicola Yoon, Kai Harris, Carla Bruce and more.

Love can be messy, painful, and heartbreaking, but it can also be revolutionary, profound, and hopeful. With twelve stories ranging from love that’s found on one of the oldest HBCU campuses in the country, to modern-day romance budding against the rhythm and spirit of homecoming, You’ve Got a Place Here, Too is a celebration of Black love as well as everything HBCUs have given the community.

In Kennedy Ryan’s “Brave the Skies,” tensions brew between a once forbidden love. In Dawnie Walton’s “The Highest of Seven Hills,” Nia might land a second chance with the one that got away while visiting her alma mater. In Kai Harris’ “Whatever Gods May Be,” a coveted audition for the Fisk University Jubilee Singers brings harmony in more ways than one. And in Kiese Laymon’s “The Musty” a darker romance ensues across Jackson State University.

Engrossing and heart-searing, tender and transporting, You’ve Got a Place Here, Too explores the beauty of finding love in transformative places.
