about Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)

More than 100 HBCUs exist in the United States. Most were established in the South after the American Civil War, often with the assistance of religious missionary organizations based in the northern United States. HBCUs opened the door of educational opportunity for many African Americans who were once legally denied an education. Additionally, these schools have provided African American students a nurturing environment to explore their collective identities and cultures. HBCUs have played a vital role in the education of many individuals and communities and in strengthening this nation.
