The oldest colleges in the us started in 1600s. Most publics opened in the 1800s. On average the first black person wasn’t allowed on campus until about 1900.

A few tidbits that might make this project of mine a little tough...
The first black student enrolled often didn’t graduate.
Many universities admitted black graduate students (who had gone to HBCUs) before they admitted undergrads.
Admitting 1 doesn’t change exclusion

Princeton University didn’t graduate their first black student until after they celebrated their 200th anniversary
Emory didn’t graduate their first black student until 1967 https://emorywheel.com/emory-colleges-first-black-student-paves-way-for-future-students/">https://emorywheel.com/emory-col...
Also Emory’s application fee was only $5 for the med school.
What’s really scare is that there are colleges that did not admit black people while I was alive and there is a good chance some of those colleges consider #legacy in admission.
As I get my legacy data updated I’ll add more to this thread.
