    Vintage 1890-1943 African American 1890 University School Athletic Sport Award Honor Medal
    Twenty-eight years after the passage of the Morrill Act of 1862, Congress enacted a second Morrill Act establishing Black land-grant universities.  The legislation gave states funds to establish state universities for persons of color if race was an admissions factor at the existing state university.  Commonly referred to as 1890 Universities, these institutions have a track record of “serving the underserved” and “reaching the unreached.”  Today, these campuses are proud to remain the custodians of access to and opportunity for higher education in underserved communities.
