When they say HBCUs are DEI and discriminatory, show them this image. This is why HBCUs exist, this is why there is such a discrepancy between 1st gen and 2nd gen land grant universities. Separate but equal and affront acts of discrimination where violence and military force was used to enforce policies which made the creation of HBCUs necessary. Forget the fact that for 60 years they have granted admission to PWI’s and they have spent the past 30 years litigating rollbacks on affirmative action admissions policies. This is what they do not want their kids to know, despite the fact that either them or their parents were likely participants in these actions!
