text: PBS recently produced a great documentary called "From Swastika to Jim Crow," which dealt, in part, with the question you're asking.  PBS has a companion website to this documentary, in which the history of HBCUs in America is outlined.  I've posted the link below.  I bet it's exactly what you're looking for.  \n\nThere's also a link on this webpage called "Resources" which will lead you to further reading on the subject.\n\nBest wishes!
