February marks #BlackHistoryMonth in the United States. In a segregated, post-civil war country, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) provided black Americans with a quality education. Many well-known and respected artists, politicians, CEOs and political leaders are graduates of HBCUs. Today these colleges are still some of the country’s top producers of black doctors, scientists and engineers and offer opportunities to a more diverse student body.
