A Forgotten Migration: Black Southerners, Segregation Scholarships, and the Debt Owed to Public HBCUs. By Crystal R. Sanders.

The article discusses the historical impact of segregation scholarships on Black colleges in the southern United States, highlighting how these funds were used to send Black students to northern universities instead of supporting local institutions. It details the negative consequences of this approach, including the underfunding of Black colleges and the perpetuation of segregation, as states avoided desegregating predominantly White institutions. The author presents personal accounts of students who faced challenges while using these scholarships and argues that the practice was a means to maintain White supremacy. Additionally, the article emphasizes the long-term implications of denying Black students access to higher education and critiques current movements that seek to remove race considerations from admissions and funding.
