In the United States there are over 100 historically Black colleges. Often they have moved on to teaching a full range of ethnicities but their history required them to be designed to teach only Blacks. Cheyney University in Pennsylvania was the first school, but as it also held classes for younger students, some argue it can not be qualified as a college. Ashmun Institute in Pennsylvania was the
. first college founded solely for African Americans. You can find more information here: http://www.pbs.org/itvs/fromswastikatojimcrow/blackcolleges.html
