Celebrating Black History Month

Justin Morrill's land-grant act of 1862 was a precursor to the Morrill Act of1890, which promoted access to public higher education to people from all backgrounds - regardless of race. Prairie View A&M University was established 1876 as a product of the second Morrill Act.
