That is very stupid! There are hundreds of Black folks who were instrumental back then and now who did NOT attend HBCUs
For instance, Rosa never went to college. She was a worker but put in work
Dorothy Height went to 2 PWIs but that did not stop her for being instrumental in the civil rights and the
Equal Pay Act which affected all of us by the way
Carter G Woodson ( he founded Negro History Week, which later became
BLACK HISTORY MONTH) graduated from PWIs but that did not stop HU from hiring him as an educator
DR.Huey P Newton founded the Black Panthers and did not attend a HBCU. However he was Sigma which was founded by Howard ( the first HBCU) and he changed the game as well
The hell with critics
