Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are vital institutions in American higher education. Defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965 as, any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans.
These institutions were born out of necessity in an era of segregation when educational opportunities for African Americans were severely limited. HBCUs have not only contributed to bridging gaps in educational access but have also been instrumental in fostering leadership, cultural richness, and academic excellence within the African American community. Their role transcends education, serving as hubs for thought leadership and social change, thus playing a pivotal role in promoting diversity and inclusion in American society.
