Historically black colleges and universities(HBCUs) are institutions ofhigher education in the United Statesthat were established before theCivil Rights Act of 1964with the intention of primarily servingAfrican Americans.[1]Most of these institutions were founded during theReconstruction eraafter the Civil War and are concentrated in theSouthern United States.[2]They were primarily founded by Protestant religious groups, until the SecondMorill Actof 1890 requirededucationally segregatedstates(all in the South) to provide African American, public higher-education schools (i.e. state funded schools) in order to receive the Act's benefits (19, generally larger institutions, fall under this Act).

During the period ofracial segregation in the United States,the majority of American institutions of higher education served predominantly white students, and disqualified or limited black American enrollment.[3][4]Later on some universities, either after expanding their inclusion ofblack peopleand African Americans into their institutions or gaining the status ofminority-serving institution,becamepredominantly black institutions(PBIs).[5]

For a century afterthe abolitionofAmerican slaveryin 1865, almost all colleges and universities in the Southern United States prohibited all African Americans from attending as required byJim Crow lawsin the South, while institutions in other parts of the country regularly employed quotas to limit admissions of black people.[6][7][8][9]HBCUs were established to provide more opportunities to African Americans and are largely responsible for establishing and expanding theAfrican-American middle class.[10][11]In the 1950s and 1960s, enforced racial segregation in education was generally outlawed across the United States.

There are101 HBCUsin the United States (of 121 institutions that existed during the 1930s), representing three percent of the nation's colleges,[12]including public and private institutions.[13]Twenty-seven offer doctoral programs, 52 offer master's programs, 83 offer bachelor's degree programs, and 38 offer associate degrees.[14][15][16]HBCUs currently produce nearly 20% of all African American college graduates and 25% of African AmericanSTEMgraduates.[17]Among the graduates of HBCUs are civil rights leaderMartin Luther King Jr.,United States Supreme Court JusticeThurgood Marshall,and United States Vice PresidentKamala Harris.

History

[edit]
Cheyney University of Pennsylvaniawas founded in 1837 as theInstitute for Colored Youth,making it the oldest HBCU in the nation

Private institutions

[edit]

HBCUs established prior to the American Civil War includeCheyney University of Pennsylvaniain 1837,[18]University of the District of Columbia(then known as Miner School for Colored Girls) in 1851, andLincoln Universityin 1854.[19]Wilberforce Universitywas also established prior to the American Civil War.[20]The university was founded in 1856 via a collaboration between the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Ohio and the predominantly white Methodist Episcopal Church.[21]

HBCUs were controversial in their early years. At the1847 National Convention of Colored People and Their Friends,the famed black oratorsFrederick Douglass,Henry Highland Garnet,andAlexander Crummelldebated the need for such institutions, with Crummell arguing that HBCUs were necessary to provide freedom from discrimination, and Douglas and Garnet arguing that self-segregation would harm the black community. A majority of the convention voted that HBCUs should be supported.

Most HBCUs were established in theSouthafter theAmerican Civil War,often with the assistance of religious missionary organizations based in the North, especially theAmerican Missionary Association.TheFreedmen's Bureauplayed a major role in financing the new schools.[22][23]

Atlanta University – nowClark Atlanta University– was founded on September 19, 1865, as the first HBCU in the Southern United States. Atlanta University was the first graduate institution to award degrees to African Americans in the nation and the first to award bachelor's degrees to African Americans in the South; Clark College (1869) was the nation's first four-year liberal arts college to serve African-American students. The two consolidated in 1988 to form Clark Atlanta University.[24]Shaw University,founded December 1, 1865, was the second HBCU to be established in the South. The year 1865 also saw the foundation ofStorer College(1865–1955) inHarper's Ferry,West Virginia.[2]Storer's former campus and buildings have since been incorporated intoHarpers Ferry National Historical Park.[25]

Some of these universities eventually became public universities with assistance from the government.

Public institutions

[edit]

In 1862,[26]the federal government'sMorrill Actprovided forland grant collegesin each state. Educational institutions established under the Morrill Act in theNorthandWestwere open to blacks. But 17 states, almost all in the South, required their post-Civil war systems to be segregated and excluded black students from their land grant colleges. In the 1870s, Mississippi, Virginia, and South Carolina each assigned one African American college land-grant status: Alcorn University, Hampton Institute, and Claflin University, respectively.[27]In response, Congress passed thesecond Morrill Act of 1890,also known as theAgricultural College Act of 1890,requiring states to establish a separate land grant college for blacks if blacks were being excluded from the existing land grant college. Many of the HBCUs were founded by states to satisfy the Second Morrill Act.[28]These land grant schools continue to receive annual federal funding for their research,extension,and outreach activities.[16]

Predominantly black institutions

[edit]

Predominantly black institutions (PBI) are institutions that do not meet the legal definition of HBCUs, but primarily serve African Americans.[29]Some examples of PBIs areGeorgia State University,Chicago State University,Trinity Washington University,and theCommunity College of Philadelphia.[5][30]

Sports

[edit]

In the 1920s and 1930s, historically black colleges developed a strong interest in athletics. Sports were expanding rapidly at state universities, but very few black stars were recruited there. Race newspapers hailed athletic success as a demonstration of racial progress. Black schools hired coaches, recruited and featured stellar athletes, and set up their own leagues.[31][32]

Jewish refugees

[edit]

In the 1930s, many Jewish intellectuals fleeing Europe after the rise ofHitlerandanti-Jewish legislation in prewar Nazi Germanyfollowing Hitler's elevation to power emigrated to the United States and found work teaching in historically black colleges.[33]In particular, 1933 was a challenging year for many Jewish academics who tried to escape increasingly oppressive Nazi policies,[34]particularly after legislation was passed stripping them of their positions at universities.[34]Jews looking outside of Germany could not find work in other European countries because of calamities like theSpanish Civil Warand general antisemitism in Europe.[35][34]In the US, they hoped to continue their academic careers, but barring a scant few, found little acceptance in elite institutions inDepression-era America,which also had their own undercurrent ofantisemitism.[33][36]

As a result of these phenomena, more than two-thirds of the faculty hired at many HBCUs from 1933 to 1945 had come to the United States to escape from Nazi Germany.[37]HBCUs believed the Jewish professors were valuable faculty that would help strengthen their institutions' credibility.[38]HBCUs had a firm belief in diversity and giving opportunity no matter the race, religion, or country of origin.[39]HBCUs were open to Jews because of their ideas of equal learning spaces. They sought to create an environment where all people felt welcome to study, including women.[39]

World War II

[edit]

HBCUs made substantial contributions to the US war effort. One example isTuskegee Universityin Alabama, where theTuskegee Airmentrained and attended classes.[40][41]

Florida's Black junior colleges

[edit]

After the landmarkBrown v. Board of Educationdecision of 1954, the legislature of Florida, with support from various counties, opened elevenjunior collegesserving the African-American population. Their purpose was to show thatseparate but equaleducation was working in Florida. Prior to this, there had been only one junior college in Florida serving African Americans,Booker T. Washington Junior College,in Pensacola, founded in 1949. The new ones wereGibbs Junior College(1957),Roosevelt Junior College(1958),Volusia County Junior College(1958),Hampton Junior College(1958),Rosenwald Junior College(1958),Suwannee River Junior College(1959),Carver Junior College(1960),Collier-Blocker Junior College(1960),Lincoln Junior College(1960),Jackson Junior College(1961), andJohnson Junior College(1962).

The new junior colleges began as extensions of black high schools. They used the same facilities and often the same faculty. Some built their own buildings after a few years. After the passage of theCivil Rights Act of 1964mandated an end to school segregation, the colleges were all abruptly closed. Only a fraction of the students and faculty were able to transfer to the previously all-white junior colleges, where they found, at best, an indifferent reception.[42]

Since 1965

[edit]
PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush signs a new Executive Order on historically black colleges and universities in theWhite House Rose Garden,April 1989

A reauthorization of theHigher Education Act of 1965established a program for direct federal grants to HBCUs, to support their academic, financial, and administrative capabilities.[43][44]Part B specifically provides for formula-based grants, calculated based on each institution's Pell grant eligible enrollment, graduation rate, and percentage of graduates who continue post-baccalaureate education in fields where African Americans are underrepresented. Some colleges with a predominantly black student body are not classified as HBCUs because they were founded (or opened their doors to African Americans) after the implementation of theSweatt v. Painter(1950) andBrown v. Board of Education(1954) rulings by theU.S. Supreme Court(the court decisions which outlawedracial segregationof public education facilities) and the Higher Education Act of 1965.

In 1980,Jimmy Cartersigned an executive order to distribute adequate resources and funds to strengthen the nation's public and private HBCUs. His executive order created the White House Initiative on historically black colleges and universities (WHIHBCU), which is a federally funded program that operates within theU.S. Department of Education.[45]In 1989,George H. W. Bushcontinued Carter's pioneering spirit by signing Executive Order 12677, which created the presidential advisory board on HBCUs, to counsel the government and the secretary on the future development of these organizations.[46]

Starting in 2001, directors of libraries of several HBCUs began discussions about ways to pool their resources and work collaboratively. In 2003, this partnership was formalized as theHBCU Library Alliance,"a consortium that supports the collaboration of information professionals dedicated to providing an array of resources designed to strengthen historically black colleges and Universities and their constituents."[47]

In 2015, the Bipartisan Congressional Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)Caucuswas established by U.S. RepresentativesAlma S. AdamsandBradley Byrne.The caucus advocates for HBCUs onCapitol Hill.[48]As of May 2022,there are over 100 elected politicians who are members of the caucus.[49]

Current status

[edit]
Further information:List of historically black colleges and universities
North Carolina A&T State Universityis the nation's largest HBCU by enrollment.

Annually, theU.S. Department of Educationdesignates one week in thefallas "National HBCU Week". During this week, conferences and events are held inWashington, D.C.to discuss and celebrate HBCUs, as well as recognize some notable HBCU scholars and alumni.[50]

As of 2024,Alabamahas the most active HBCUs of any state, with 14.[51]North Carolinais second with 11.[52]

In 2023, the average HBCU 6-year undergraduate graduation rate was 35% while the national average was 64%.Spelman Collegehad the highest graduation rate among HBCUs at 74%.[53]Also in 2023, 73% of students attending HBCUs werePell Granteligible while the national average was 34%.[53][54]Talladega Collegehad the highest percent of Pell Grant eligible students among HBCUs at 95%.[55]

In 2015, the share of black students attending HBCUs had dropped to 9% of the total number of black students enrolled in degree-granting institutions nationwide. This figure is a decline from the 13% of black students who enrolled in an HBCU in 2000 and 17% who enrolled in 1980. This is a result of desegregation, rising incomes and increased access to financial aid, which has created more college options for black students.[13][56]

The percentages of bachelor's and master's degrees awarded to black students by HBCUs has decreased over time. HBCUs awarded 35% of the bachelor's degrees and 21% of the master's degrees earned by blacks in 1976–77, compared with the 14% and 6% respectively of bachelor's and master's degrees earned by blacks in 2014–15. Additionally, the percentage of black doctoral degree recipients who received their degrees from HBCUs was lower in 2014–15 (12%) than in 1976–77 (14%).[57][58][59]

The number of total students enrolled at an HBCU rose by 32% between 1976 and 2015, from 223,000 to 293,000. Total enrollment in degree-granting institutions nationwide increased by 81%, from 11 million to 20 million, in the same period.[57]

Although HBCUs were originally founded to educate black students, their diversity has increased over time. In 2015, students who were either white, Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander, or Native American made up 22% of total enrollment at HBCUs, compared with 15% in 1976.[60]

In 2006, theNational Center for Education Statisticsreleased a study showing that HBCUs had a $10.2 billion positive impact on the nation's economy with 35% coming from themultiplier effect.[61]

There are also developments in how African Americans may choose or not choose an HBCU. HBCUs are at risk of losing ground in terms of quality of their applicants as well.[62]The current admission policies of predominately White institutions (PWIs) ensure that qualified applicants of any color are accepted and most top institutions actively recruit minority students.[62]Well qualified minority students are often the target of frenzied competition (Cross, 2007).[62]This competition is reflected in the inducements offered by PWIs to qualified black applicants, most notably monetary incentives, which many students and their parents find too attractive to turn down.[62]For this reason and others, fewer black undergraduates are choosing to attend HBCUs, this figure has gradually declined to 22% as of 2002 (U.S. Department of Education, 2004).[62]This dwindling percentage, coupled with opportunities at PWIs, have led some to speculate whether the HBCU has outlived its purpose and lost its relevance for black youth (Lemelle, 2002; Sowell 1993; Suggs, 1997b).[62]

Racial diversity post-2000

[edit]

Following the enactment of Civil Rights laws in the 1960s, many educational institutions in the United States that receive federal funding have undertakenaffirmative actionto increase their racial diversity. Some historically black colleges and universities now have non-black majorities, includingWest Virginia State UniversityandBluefield State University,whose student bodies have had largewhitemajorities since the mid-1960s.[13][63][64]

As many HBCUs have made a concerted effort to maintain enrollment levels and often offer relatively affordable tuition, the percentage of non–African-American enrollment has risen.[65][66][67][68]The following table highlights HBCUs with high non–African American enrollments:

Other HBCUs with relatively high non–African American student populations

According to theU.S. News & World ReportBest Colleges2011 edition, the proportion of white American students atLangston Universitywas 12%; atShaw University,12%; atTennessee State University,12%; at theUniversity of Maryland Eastern Shore,12%; and atNorth Carolina Central University,10%. TheU.S. News & World Report's statistical profiles indicate that several other HBCUs have relatively significant percentages of non–African American student populations consisting of Asian, Hispanic, white American, and foreign students.[81]

Special academic programs

[edit]

HBCU libraries have formed theHBCU Library Alliance.That alliance, together withCornell University,have a joint program to digitize HBCU collections. The project is funded by theAndrew W. Mellon Foundation.[82]Additionally, more historically black colleges and universities are offering online education programs. As of November 23, 2010, nineteen historically black colleges and universities offer online degree programs.[83]The growth in these programs is driven by partnerships with online educational entrepreneurs likeEzell Brown.[citation needed]

Intercollegiate sports

[edit]

NCAA Division Ihas two historically black athletic conferences:Mid-Eastern Athletic ConferenceandSouthwestern Athletic Conference.The top football teams from the conferences have played each other in postseason bowl games: thePelican Bowl(1970s), theHeritage Bowl(1990s), and theCelebration Bowl(2015–present). These conferences are home to all Division I HBCUs except forHampton UniversityandTennessee State University.Tennessee State has been a member of theOhio Valley Conferencesince 1986, while Hampton left the MEAC in 2018 for theBig South Conference.In 2021,North Carolina A&T State Universitymade the same conference move that Hampton made three years earlier (MEAC to Big South).[84]Both Hampton and North Carolina A&T later moved their athletic programs to theColonial Athletic Associationand its technically separate football league of CAA Football; Hampton joined both sides of the CAA in 2022,[85]while A&T joined the all-sports CAA in 2022 before joining CAA Football in 2023.[86]

The mostly HBCUCentral Intercollegiate Athletic AssociationandSouthern Intercollegiate Athletic Conferenceare part of theNCAA Division II,whereas the HBCUGulf Coast Athletic Conferenceis part of theNational Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.[87]

HBCUs have a rich legacy of matriculating many leaders in the fields of business, law, science, education, military service, entertainment, art, and sports.

Modern presidential and federal support

[edit]

Federal funding for HBCUs has notably increased in recent years. Proper federal support of HBCUs has become more of a key issue in modern U.S. presidential elections. [88]

InPresident Barack Obama's eight years in office, he invested more than $4 billion to HBCUs.[89]

In 2019,President Donald Trumpsigned a bipartisan bill that permanently invested more than $250 million a year to HBCUs.[90]

In 2021,President Joe Biden's first year in office, he invested a historic $5.8 billion to support HBCUs.[91]In 2022, Biden's administration announced an additional $2.7 billion through his American Rescue Plan.[92]

HBCU homecomings

[edit]

Homecomingis a tradition at almost every American college and university, however homecoming has a more unique meaning at HBCUs. Homecoming plays a significant role in the culture and identity of HBCUs. The level of pageantry and local black community involvement (parade participation, business vendors, etc.) helps make HBCU homecomings more distinctive. Due to higher campus traffic and activity, classes at HBCUs are usually cancelled on Friday and Saturday of homecoming.[93]Millions of alumni, students, celebrity guests, and visitors attend HBCU homecomings every year. In addition to being a highly cherished tradition and festive week, homecomings generate strong revenue for HBCUs and many black owned businesses.[94][95][96]
