Diversity in Sports

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) student bodies have considerable diversity. For the past five generations, black colleges have embraced the concept of inclusion in the classroom and in sports. According to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, white enrollees make up 8 percent of public HBCU student bodies; 2 percent Latino and 1 percent Asian.  In the past 30 years, Latinos have had the biggest increase at HBCUs by 124 percent!
