In honor of black history month (and also to further my own pursuit of information to be turned into questions for my Honda team), I think we should use the days of February to post HBCU factoids.
They don't have to be about your own school, and every bit of information helps.
To begin I have two:
Virginia State University was the first college for blacks to be state-supported.
Wiley College was the first college for blacks found west of the Mississippi River.
ADD ON!
