About Me



Black College Search - A free, comprehensive online resource for students who are seeking unbiased, detailed information and links to higher-learning institutions.
In the late 19th century, colleges for black students were started in boxcars (Clark Atlanta university) and church basements ( Spelman College ). Mary McLeod Bethune, one of the nation's foremost black educators, opened a black college in 1904 with $1.50 and 5 students. Today, there are 106 historically black colleges and universities in the United States, who can count among their graduates such luminaries as W. E. B. Du Bois (Fisk University), Thurgood Marshall (Lincoln University and Howard University), Toni Morrison ( Howard University ), and Martin Luther King, Jr. (Morehouse College). BlackCollegeSearch.com stands on the foundation established by our nation's Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs). These schools have developed leaders and professionals of African descent all over the world. Welcome.
