PUB TYPE Historical MatPrials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Black Colleges; Black History; Black Students; *Educational History; Higher Education; Racial Bias; Racial Segregation; School Desegregation; State Colleges; State Legislation; State Universities; Whites IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; Bowie State College MD; Coppin State College MD; *Maryland; Morgan State University MD; University of Maryland Eastern Shore ABSTRACT This paper presents a history of four historically Black colleges in Maryland: Bowie State University, Coppin State College, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. The history begins with a section on the education of Blacks before 1800, a period in which there is little evidence of formal education for African Americans despite the presence of relatively large numbers of free Blacks thronghout the state. A section on the education of Blacks from 1800 to 1900 describes the first formal education of Blacks, the founding of the first Black Catholic order of nuns, and the beginning of higher education in the state after the Civil War. There follow sections on each of the four historically Black institutions in Maryland covering the founding and development of each, and their responses to social changes in the 1950s and 1960s. A further chapter describes the development and manipulation of the Out of State Scholarship Fund which was established to fund Black students who wished to attend out of state institutions for courses offered at the College Park, Maryland campus and other White campuses from which they were barred.
