The percentage of Black students enrolled at HBCUs fell from 18 percent in 1976 to 8 percent in 2014 and then increased to 9 percent in 2020," according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
America has benefited greatly from Black American contributions. So, support HBCUs…and not just Howard, Fisk, and Morehouse.
