A Moment in Black History
Today in 1867 U.S. Congress enacts charter to establish Howard University. Howard University is but one of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities have evolved from institutions formed to serve former slaves to institutions serving the new black middle-class-to-be. Black colleges at the beginning of the new millennium hang in and continue to produce, despite a fierce fight for survival.
Because of the black college, social networks were developed from campus life among men and women of color from all quarters of the nation. These networks became assets as black political awareness rose and as blacks from HBCU's nudged into new categories of jobs and at levels from interns to governors.
Over 100 years later, Historically Black Colleges and Universities still stand. Their character and missions will continue to change and evolve but best believe they will be around for many years to come.
