The History of Black Colleges

Victor Johnson: Historically black colleges are treated shabbily. He says they emerged because blacks were not given a fair shake to get into superior white schools that have more resources. They never said you had to be black to go to the school, even though most of them had anywhere from 95 to 100% blacks and so in their way of thinking they violate no civil rights statutes. Johnson: I think what would be good is if you have a Morgantown or whatever Morgan or, you know, Tuskegee or Howard University. And they may have a predominantly black majority, but they're not necessarily identified just with black people.
