I’m against segregation, voluntary or compulsory.
None of the historically black colleges or universities is racially segregated. There are students of all races attending.
One of the schools that got sigificant national media exposure is West Virginia State University.
The school was established as the “West Virginia Colored Institute” in 1891 under the second Morrill Act which provided for land-grant institutions for black students in the 17 states that had segregated schools.
In 1954, following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education to desegregate public education, the college transformed from an all-black college with a primarily residential population to a predominantly commuter school with mostly white students. Nearly 400 white students applied for admission. By 1966, African-Americans represented 20 percent of the total student population.
By 2011–2012, WVSU’s student population was 61 percent white, 12.5 percent black, 1 percent Asian, 1 percent Hispanic, 0.5 percent American Indian, and 24 percent who preferred to not identify themselves by race.
