Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have served a
population under severe legal, educational, economic, and political
restrictions. They have maintained a close relationship with the
struggle of blacks for survival, advancement, and equality in
American society. By comparison with other colleges, they are poor
in financial resources physical plant, and teaching facilities.
They face opposition from the white power structure and must often
deal with students inadequately prepared for college-level
learning. However, they are a vital national resource and have
served as the font of African American leadership. They are the
custodians of the archives of black Americans and centers for the
study of black culture. Roebuck and Murty's work is significant as
the first comprehensive study of historically black colleges and
universities. HBCUs are defined in the first chapter. Chapter 2
gives the history of black higher education in the United States.
Chapter 3 profiles 109 black institutions of learning. Chapter 4
provides a comparative overview of black higher education in terms
of enrollment patterns, faculty composition, and staff composition.
Chapter 5 reviews the literature on campus race relations. Chapter
6 provides an empirical account of race relations among black and
white students and faculty on ten black and five white southeastern
college campuses. The study concludes with a complete and
up-to-date list of references on race relations and blacks in
American higher education.
