Tough flip from the 100% slave holding racist Democrats. Thank God the GOP created the HBCU in the South.
Lol you do know back then democrats were the conservative party right? GOP record so bad they have to go back to when they were liberals to brag.
Anything else? And now Democrat strongholds are modern day plantations.
Most people do not know that it was white Republicans who financed, funded and sponsored the colleges and universities for African Americans in the 1800s and early 1900s, while Democrats, with brutal force, opposed every effort made by Republicans to educate African Americans.
Billionaire John D. Rockefeller was the Republican philanthropist who donated millions of dollars to black colleges. Henry L. Morehouse and Laura Spelman are two white Republicans who worked very hard to establish and maintain some of our historically black colleges.
Laura Spelman’s work with black schools and colleges had a profound influence on both her husband and her son, John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. In 1902, father and son set up a General Education Board to assist Southern black schools. By the end of the first decade, the board had donated more than $33 million toward furthering the goals of black education. By 1921, they had donated an additional $96 million for education. Black schools and colleges were the recipients of some of this money as well.
Spelman College, established for African American women, bears the name this devout Christian woman.
Henry L. Morehouse was the Executive Secretary of the Home Mission Society, an organization that financed and started many of the first black schools and colleges. Morehouse received national recognition when a prominent black college in Atlanta, Georgia, the Augusta Institute, decided to honor him by naming their school after him (Morehouse College).
Atlanta University’s founder and first president (1867-1885) was Republican Edmund Asa Ware, who had been converted to abolitionism as a young man by reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
The founder of Fisk University was Republican Erastus M. Cravath. Cravath had been brought up by his abolitionist father and had attended two integrated colleges.
The following is a list of some of the black schools and colleges that were founded by prominent Republicans in the face of opposition from Democrats.
