Propaganda: Black Colleges During War Time

This is a video from 1944 put out by the US War Department. It discusses how African-American Universities were contributing to the war efforts. I think it's an interesting contrast to what we read about the GI Bill, White Veterans and Black opportunity at the time, and it's produced by the government.

  3. This is a good video but the schools seem to be just specialized trade schools. Is that all that Black colleges were to America.
