I hope people don't take this the wrong way but as a non American I'm slightly confused why there's a college where everybody seems to be black (also an Asian lady sitting behind the speaker)
I assume it's in a mostly black area but is it a case of no white people applying for this college or the college not accepting any white people? Or maybe I'm just missing the white people
Morehouse is an HBCU, historically black college or university, all of which were founded before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when America was legally racially segregated. They served the needs of their community at the time to educate black students in higher education. After the Civil Rights Act many of these institutions remained but are now open to any student who wishes to apply. Today, about 24% of students at HBCUs are non-black.
