South Carolina State University: A Black Land-Grant College in Jim Crow America
Since its founding in 1896, South Carolina State University has provided vocational, undergraduate, and graduate education for generations of African Americans. Now the state’s flagship historically black university, it achieved this recognition after decades of struggling against poverty, inadequate infrastructure and funding, and social and cultural isolation. In South Carolina State University: A Black Land-Grant College in Jim Crow America , William C. Hine examines South Carolina State’s complicated start, its slow and long-overdue transition to a degree-granting university, and its significant role in advancing civil rights in the state and country. - Originally broadcast 04/27/18 - All Stations: Fri, Dec 27, 12 pm | News Stations: Sun, Dec 29, 4 pm
