A comprehensive and definitive guide to America's 107 historically
black colleges and universities, this commemorative gift book
explores the historical, social, and cultural importance of the
nation's HBCUs and celebrates their rich legacy.

Detailed profiles of each HBCU
Illuminating portraits of distinguished HBCU graduates such as
Leontyne Price, Thurgood Marshall, Spike Lee, and Oprah Winfrey
Little-known anecdotes about pre-Civil War efforts to educate
blacks, such as how a white pastor founded what became Lincoln
University after his black protege was excluded from Princeton's
Theological Seminary
Rare photographs and archival materials featuring the likes of
Eleanor Roosevelt addressing students at Howard University
Chronicling the history of education in the African American
community, "I'll Find a Way or Make One" is not only an
unprecedented salute to historically black colleges and
universities, but also an indispensable account of some of the most
important events of African Americana and American history.
