Comments With Dr. James Haney Presents*Brown and Higher Education in the South, with Dr. LBaldwin and LWynn, two scholars from Vanderbilt University and Fisk University, who talks about the impact of the Supreme Court's decision that ended segregation in public education in the South and reaction of institutions of higher education, Part 2
Recently the Supreme court ruled that black colleges in Mississippi were unlawfully "separate and unequal." Some predict that Mississippi would rather close its black institutions than to improve them. There are at least 117 black colleges in the United States, 75 of which are state operated.
Institutions. Thirty-eight were constructed during the era of segregation especially for black people. These institutions award 33 percent of the bachelor's degrees, and graduate 43 percent of the blacks who go on to earn doctorate degrees.
The elimination of the historically black colleges would practically close the door on any real solution to the increase of minorities in the teaching profession.
There are hopeful signs that other organizations are joining the fight to help improve the chances for young black Americans to succeed, and thus have a greater opportunity to become successful in their college and percolate careers.
