7 black colleges and universities in Virginia and DC

Que sont les HBCU ?

Historiquement, les collèges et universités black (HBCU) sont des établissements d'enseignement supérieur aux États-Unis dont l'intention principale est de servir la communauté Afro-Américaine.

Établies avant la loi sur les droits civils de 1964, les HBCU entretiennent des liens étroits avec la communauté et sont une source de fierté pour les Afro-Américains à travers le pays. Ci-dessous, nous donnons des informations sur les sept HBCU en Virginie et à DC.
