What about Howard University, founded in 1867 for newly freed slaves and named for Gen Oliver Otis Howard, head of the Freedmens Bureau.

Subject: [VA-HIST] First Black Colleges in Virginia

Has a list of the first black colleges in Virginia ever been compiled?
After many hours of research, this is my best attempt.  Please let me know
if you see any errors or omissions.

1865 Richmond Theological Institute (now Virginia Union University)

1868 Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (now Hampton University)

1882 Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute (now Virginia State
University)

1883 Hartshorn Memorial College (now Virginia Union University)

1886 Lynchburg Baptist Seminary (now Virginia University of Lynchburg)

1888 St. Paul’s Normal and Industrial School (now St. Paul’s College)

1892 Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute (defunct)


Thanks,

Ted
