Immigrant Students at HBCUs

Season 1 Episode 4 | 6m 36s

In 1924 the U.S. passed its most restrictive and biased immigration laws in history. Despite restrictions, a number of Africans were sent to the U.S. temporarily for education in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. They often attended HBCUs where they had meaningful exchanges with African Americans.
