The State of Historically Black Colleges and Universities

In recent years, certain Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have been forced to close or merge with other schools because of financial and management issues. For example in 2002, one of the oldest and most famed HBCUs - Morris Brown College - lost its accreditation and could no longer confer degrees. This short documentary explores the current state of HBCUs in society today from the perspective of HBCU presidents and students.

While I normally wouldn't post on my own video, I find it strange that someone would attack HBCU graduates in a way that is unproductive as referencing someone's spelling. I'm not saying everyone should be a big supporter of HBCUs, I'm just saying that if you want to discuss the merits of the schools than discuss it in a productive manner that addresses the actual issue.

Black people are so beautiful and Black educated people are even more beautiful.

As a graduate of one of the elite HBCU's: Southern University A&M College, I can say that attending and HBCU has done nothing but good for my life. I have seen lots of young men that came in "rough", and left distinguished young men ready to take on the world. I have also had amazing opportunities and I wouldn't trade my experience for anything!!

We need more video's like this, and more on educating people on the reason HBCU'S started in the first place, and why they are still relevant today. I also think that we as black people can do more to support the school's at least by attending some games, and wearing your favorites school's apparel, even if you didn't go to the school. I see plenty of people wearing alabama, tenn, georgia, florida, lsu, duke, michigan, clothes and I know that they didn't attend those schools.

Nice job . Much work still needs to be done and should begin in high school to encourage black students to attend colleges and universities. The academic support required in non-HBCUs is evident in the statistics; the attrition rate remains the same and few black student, particularly males, receive degrees.

@htkendall There isn't a 'black college' so what's the point? These colleges are 'historically black' colleges. They were made for blacks who weren't allowed to attend 'white colleges' during the past. HBCUs do not deny non black applicants.
