| Abstract | "In 1700s and early 1800s colleges were strictly White enclaves that did not accept Black students. Becoming successful in society at that time was extremely difficult for non-Whites. It is important to point out that most Black physicians and other scientists were not yet accepted by society in general. Anti-Black racism was still strong. Cheyney University was established in Pennsylvania. It was created by a wealthy White man who recognized that Black people were no less intelligent and talented than Whites. Only a handful of other such schools appeared-all in the North-before the Civil War (1861- 1865). After that, several more sprang up and Black American scientists and inventors began making their marks on society in greater numbers"-- Provided by publisher. |
