Topics include * Historic Origins of HBCUs * Desegregation * Students * Presidental Leadership * Faculty and Governance Issues * Fundraising * Federal and State Policy * Curriculum * Thoughts about the future With suggestions for additional reading, other references and an appendix of historically black colleges and universities by, this is a comprehensive and much-needed addition to the literature in the field on HBCUs.
