text: does anyone know where i can find the history of hbcus??   pbs recently produced a great documentary called "from swastika to jim crow," which dealt, in part, with the question you're asking.  pbs has a companion website to this documentary, in which the history of hbcus in america is outlined.  i've posted the link below.  i bet it's exactly what you're looking for.    there's also a link on this webpage called "resources" which will lead you to further reading on the subject.  best wishes!
