Historically Black Colleges and Universities

History of HBCU

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were established in the South and East Coast of the United States in the 19^th century, to provide undergraduate and graduate level educational opportunities to people of African descent. Black students were unwelcome at existing public and private institutions of higher education, even after the passing of specific legislation resulting in a lack of higher education opportunities.
