Exploring HBCU's

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were created with the primary objective of providing higher education opportunities for African-American students during a time when racial segregation and discrimination were prevalent in the United States.

​

HBCUs were created in response to the systemic racial discrimination and segregation that denied African Americans access to mainstream educational institutions. Their founding purpose was to provide African-American students with opportunities for higher education and to address educational disparities during a challenging period in American history.
